Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. I am just a dedicated fan.
DarkDragonQueen: I started watching Danny Phantom until aboutsix months ago and I didn't really watch it. It was my sister and one day it was the only thing on and I completely fell in love with the show. I've been reading the fanfiction for a while and this story kind of came to my mind. I didn't want to write it until I saw a few stories that calmed my nerve. It's an Alternate universe and Sam has never met Danny or Tucker and she's never been to Amity Park until now.
Also no flames, but I do accept constructive criticism. Please bear with me because although I know the basics of grammar, I never did look at the detail. Don't worry my grammar isn't horrible where you can't read it, but it isn't exactly perfect where I could go and become an English teacher.
Sorry about the long wait. I got back from my grandmother's house two days ago. It was fun to go up there. I got the internet sometimes on my laptop from a neighboring connection, but couldn't upload a chapter because it was so slow. It was like torture with hardly any internet although being over my grandmother's house made up for it.
First before you read this chapter. I would like to say that since this is an Alternate Universe the movie special The Ultimate Enemy didn't happen like it happened on television. I put this here and now because the sneak peek at the bottom may confuse you. I probably will end up putting up my Alternate Universe version of The Ultimate Enemy after a while, but only if you want it. I just want to say that because I don't want any flames telling me that things that happen in the next chapter are wrong or it didn't go like that. I'm very well aware. I've seen it at least ten times. Thank you!
Attention all readers. If you didn't read the first part read this. Nick is canceling Danny Phantom! Are they out of their minds! That's one of the best cartoons they've got and there's so much more that hasn't been revealed. I mean I don't think I've ever been so shocked. GO to this website now, even before you read my next chapter. With no spaces:
www. petitionspot. com
If you go there you'll find more than one petition demanding that nick keeps Danny Phantom. Sign all you can find and wait and hope that nick doesn't cancel the show. I don't think I can survive off of just the fanfics alone. With all our combined effort we can SAVE DANNY PHANTOM!
With that said here is chapter thirteen of this story.

Joy Ride

-.oOOo.-
Sam sighed as she read the pages of the instruction notebook. So far she had managed through the first twenty pages and now she was frustrated with the act that she couldn't read it it without having to get the dictionary every five words and she was amazed that some of the words weren't in the dictionary (she very well believe that Silver Moon had made some of these words up to stump her).
"Darn Silver Moon..." Sam said under her breath and went down the stairs to go outside into the evening leaving the notebook on her bed.
She still hadn't told Aly and Silver Moon about talking to Phantom yesterday, although she knew just because she hadn't told didn't mean she didn't know. Sam had seen Aly snooping around in her room before bed and she looked like she had a piece of white hair held with tweezers. She also had the rag that Sam hadn't cleaned in her hand that still had the ectoplasm from the ghost teen on it.
When Sam asked what she was doing Aly didn't miss a beat and said that she had seen the rag and decided to clean it off and then when she saw the white hair thought that it was from some type of rodent. Sam knew she was lying (If Aly thought there was a rat in Sam's room she wouldn't have come past the doorway), but there was no way to prove that since Aly had said it in such a convincing way.
In the end she left her god- sister alone and tried to finish the reading Silver Moon had given her.
Sam crossed her arms as she walked around the block. She had to admit she was a night owl and could stay up until the early hours of the morning if she wanted, unfortunately the time of light was the time to get things done and she had to go with the flow of the rest of the world.
She closed her eyes and sighed. There was no one to save tonight which meant she had a free night... a free boring night. She would probably end up sitting in the bed staring at the ceiling since going out at night all the time and nit getting in bed until about three- if she was lucky- had really messed up her sleeping pattern.
Her eyes snapped open at the sound of a motor and she jumped back onto someones lawn barely dodging the motorcycle and the flying ghost teen flying after it.
"Rocket," she muttered and decided the Phantom looked like he could use some help. She went behind a tree and black ribbons formed around different body parts leaving her leather outfit.
She jumped onto the branch of the tree she was under and onto the house beside it. She jumped from house to house trying to catch up with Phantom who was trailing behind Rocket. She wasn't even thinking about catching Rocket. Soon enough Phantom wasn't able to keep up with the fast ghost and stopped.
"Darnit, now how am I supposed to catch him?" he growled
"Need some help ghost boy?" Black Phoenix asked sitting on the roof of the house Danny was floating in front of.
"Most definitely," Danny replied with a sigh. "Rocket is about to cause a lot of damage if I don't stop him soon. He's going to cause accidents all over the city. He already caused two!"
Black Phoenix raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Let me guess," she said dryly a bit amused, "He decided to go out for a joy ride and you've been chasing him all over town trying to stop him, but since he's going even faster than you can possibly fly there's no way you can catch him."
"Well duh," Danny said dryly, "My seven year old cousin could have figured that out. It's a bit obvious."
Black Phoenix glared. "Well then, I had a way we good catch him but if you don't want my help, oh well." Black Phoenix stood up and turned her back to Phantom pretending to leave.
"Wait," Danny said flying in front of the girl to stop her. "I didn't mean I didn't want your help. I'm just a bit irritated and stressed right now." he sighed
"You're a ghost who doesn't have to worry about the ups and downs of living in this world and the most you have to worry about is fighting a few ghost. That's stressful?" Black Phoenix said bluntly
"There's that bluntness again," Danny muttered, "I couldn't even began to explain Phoenix, but right now we don't have time to talk about that. What's your plan?"
"Follow me," she said and jumped roofs again with Danny flying above her until they reached the big rock that led to the Phoenix Nest.
"Stay here," Black Phoenix said firmly and Danny raises an eyebrow.
"What's this?" he asked
"The tunnel that leads to the Phoenix Nest," Black Phoenix responded
"You have a base and you just told me the entrance to it?"
"Yeah," Black Phoenix smiled. "But I trust you Phantom. I know you won't come snooping around. You don't seem like the type." Black Phoenix moved past the bushes and into the tunnel.
Black Phoenix pushed against the seemingly dead end in th tunnel and found herself in the Phoenix Nest with Aly and Silver Moon who was on the computer.
"Silver Moon, I need the keys to the PAM (Phoenix Assault Motorcycle)." she said grabbing the keys off the Silver table and removing the sheet from the motorcycle.
"Wait a minute did you finish the instructions?" Silver Moon asked grabbing Black Phoenix's wrist
Black Phoenix raised an eyebrow. "Did you really expect me to understand that?"
"It was simple,"
"Simple for someone who's memorized the dictionary and every encyclopedia in the world." Black Phoenix replied flatly
Silver Moon blushed. "Well at least let me tell you what those keys are-"
Black Phoenix held up one. "This turns on the motorcycle and allows you to drive it." she held up the second key, "This one activates the weapon system so you can do what the name says and the other one is just a house key."
Black Phoenix got on the bike and put the key in the ignition.
"How did you figure that out?" Silver Moon asked confused
Black Phoenix smiled and gave a wink. "I skipped through the book since I knew I would never finish it."
She turned the key and the engine started. She rode through it in the tunnel and then rode right through the bushes stopping in front of a startled Danny.
"Is that yours?" Danny asked surprised
Black Phoenix smirked at the shocked expression on Danny's face and smiled. "A friend of mine built for me."
"A friend of yours built that!" Danny said with wide eyes
"The Fentons aren't the only inventors in this town." Black Phoenix responded, "Come on, get on."
"On that with you?" Danny asked
"No," Black Phoenix replied sarcastically. "On the invisible one only ghost can see behind me."
Danny sighed and got on the motorcycle with the teen and then frowned.
"You have a license?" he asked
"You really think I could go up and ask for a license and they would give me one?" Black Phoenix asked. "Besides, I'm not going to be sixteen until September next year."
"You sure you can drive this?" Danny asked and Black Phoenix shrugged.
"One way to find out," she replied and took off on the bike with Danny gripping her loosely around the waist
They decided to travel to the busiest part of town and rode the streets with Danny making the car bike invisible and intangible so they wouldn't be seen. It wouldn't take too long to find Rocket. All they had to do was find speeding traffic and Rocket would be somewhere about to ride right into it and sure enough, he was on the sidewalk on his motorcycle about to ride into the busy traffic of the late evening.
Black Phoenix blocked his path.
"Okay Rocket, that's enough havoc for one night." Danny said taking out the thermos and Rocket eyed it then burst into laughter
"That's the thing the ghost in the ghost zone hate. I thought it would be something a bit more intimidating than a thermos. What do you do throw your hot soup on then?" Rocket continued laughing
Danny glared. "Let's see if you still feel that way when I use it on you,"
Rocket glared back an then looked back at the busy street and started up his motorcycle.
"That's if you can catch me first." Rocket backed up and went around them into the street causing people to suddenly stop or try and move out the way which in turn caused people to crash into each other, but it was nothing too serious.
"Ready for a little joy ride?" Black Phoenix smiled
"Do I have a choice if we want to catch Rocket?" Danny asked dryly
"I'll take that as a yes," She replied and took off after Rocket on the path he had cleared.
Everything was blur from then on and the only thing Black Phoenix focused on was the speeding ghost. Danny turned them intangible every now and then when Black Phoenix couldn't move out of the way in time. He had no clue how she could be going so fast and be in one lane one and the next lane a second later.
"How are you driving this thing so fast and dodging all these cars at the same time?" he asked in her ear.
"I don't know, but the things that are really far away look so close." Black Phoenix replied not taking her eyes off the rode.
"Some power you have there," Danny commented
"I didn't know I had it until now."
Rocket was still about ten yards ahead of them and the speed on the bike was steadily climbing until they were going at least one hundred and fifty miles an hour. Rocket turned around and saw them still behind him. He growled and then saw a blocked road. He didn't even bother going intangible and just rode right on through.
The ghost hero and the goth somewhat villian and somewhat hero followed and saw that this road led to an old abandoned neighborhood that was being destroyed and rebuilt. They were halfway done knocking it down, but since it was night no one was there.
Rocket rode on the rubble of an old house and sending debris to the bike behind him. One particularly big one headed there way and there was no time to phase through it, so Black Phoenix activated the weapons system. Different pieces like the speed monitor and the gas meter, along with other thing that Silver Moon had managed to fit on the bike flipped and moved aside so that there were various buttons to press. and some were even voice activated. There was a button that said missiles and Danny pressed it before Black Phoenix even saw it. It fired at the big piece of rubble turning it to bits.
"Thanks," Black Phoenix muttered following Rocket into a forest. "Oh come on, I can't see."
"I am the Phoenix Assault Motorcycle, otherwise known as PAM. Would you like to activate the razor knives." a voice from her bike said
"Yeah whatever that is, as long as it helps." Black Phoenix said just needing something that would help her see better.
Razor knives as PAM had said appeared on the side off the wheels, the handles and on the front of the bike a two big curved knives came out that almost curved around the entire bike. They cut through branches and vines that were blocking Danny and Phoenix's view and now they could see Rocket riding out of the forest and out into a wide open field with a lake about a football and a half away and Rocket was headed straight for it. There were people in boats fishing. Why were they idiot enough to do it at this hour the two people on the motorcycle couldn't figure it out, but Rocket could care less and he zoomed right across it and through the sound barrier on the other end and onto the interstate.
"Holy..."
"... Crap," Phoenix finished. "Can you make this thing fly?"
"I don't want to risk dropping you with you on it. Besides with all these weapons in it, no telling how heavy this thing is." Danny replied as they drew closer to the lake
"Well in that case we need to gain speed and fast." Phoenix replied
"Would you like to activate rocket boosters?" PAM's voice came
Danny and Phoenix didn't need to be asked twice as both shouted, "Yes," and then rocket jets appeared at the back wheels of the bike and big blue and red flames appeared shooting them forward and with the speed climbing up so fast the two had no time to prepare for it as it shot them across the wide lake and through the sound barrier, leaving a big hole in it.
They shot off onto the interstate where Rocket was riding right through cars which gained a few startled shrieks since he didn't bother to turn invisible. The traffic was back up for a few miles meaning they had to go intangible. Danny kept his focus on keeping the motorcycle and Phoenix invisible letting Phoenix keep her attention on Rocket who was nearing where all five lanes were blocked out and there were about three police cars along with two ambulances with one turned over trucks and another sitting upright in front of it and an upside down van.
Rocket shot right through and Phoenix smirked lifting the front of the bike and getting on top of the part of the turned over truck where various items were store. She rode right across it, then lifted up again, rode across the top of the upright truck, and then rode right off of it shooting like a rocket and almost into a bridge which she didn't see, but Danny did and turned them intangible at the last second.
When they landed they were about two yards behind Rocket.
"Phoenix don't drive so recklessly!" Danny yelled
"Rocket's a reckless ghost driver so in order to catch a reckless ghost driver I need to drive reckless," Black Phoenix replied and then raised an eyebrow although Danny couldn't see it. "Besides you can't tell me you didn't enjoy that can you?"
Danny sighed and didn't reply. He could just picture her slight smile that said 'I though so'. She was right. Although he would probably never admit it, that was kind of fun...
"Now what?" Phoenix asked snapping him from his thought as he looked at the now deserted road, though police sirens could be heard about a fourth of a mile back.
"What about these weapons in this thing?" he wondered
"He's a ghost," Black Phoenix replied dryly, "Nothing in this thing can probably hit him."
"Would you like to activate the Phoenix energy shocker?" PAM asked
"Anything that can attack that ghost," Phoenix replied and the front light on her bike turned black a big black ball shot out of it hitting Rocket's motorcycle and then electrocuting him.
"Argh," he said slowing down
"Any ideas ghost boy?" Phoenix asked open for suggestions
Danny sighed as Rocket got off at an exit onto a deserted road.
"Yeah, but put this thing on auto drive to follow Rocket," he replied
"Why?" Phoenix asked raising an eyebrow
"Just trust me if you want this over with." Danny replied and Phoenix put her bike on auto drive and let go of the handle as Danny grip around her waist got tighter
"One..." he said aiming at Rocket. "Two..." he took in a deep breath "Three,"
Danny lifted himself and Phoenix off the motorcycle and let out a scream that turned into a wail or to be more specific a ghostly wail.
Black Phoenix put her hands to her ears as did Rocket at the high pitched wail stopped his bike in it's tracks as and it exploded. Unfortunately Black Phoenix's motorcycle was caught in the wail as well and it just kind of fell apart for it would take a lot more for the engine to explode.
When the smoke around the Rocket he was lying in the middle of the destroyed parts of his bike. Danny put Black Phoenix down and took out the thermos and sucked him into the thermos capping it shut.
"And your license has just expired." he said before falling to the ground on his knees. That ghostly wail took a lot out of him, but Black Phoenix, who was looking at her destroyed motorcycle didn't seem to care.
"Ghost boy," she growled and slowly turned to face the fallen ghost.
Danny looked up to see Black Phoenix struggling to calm herself but to no avail and then looked at her beyond repair motorcycle. He paled... Uh- oh...
"Phantom," she growled
"Listen Phoenix," Danny said slowly rising to her feet and putting his hands out in front of him in defense. "I didn't mean to. I'm really sorry,"
"Sorry," Black Phoenix replied dryly and for a moment Danny thought she had calmed down. Key word in that sentence 'for a moment'...
"DANNY PHANTOM!" she screeched so loud that the ground shook
'Oh, hell...' Danny thought because hell was exactly where Black Phoenix was about to send him.
"Look what you did to my bike!" she said in a low but dangerous voice. "Do you know how long it took Silver Moon to build that thing? Six months... SIX MONTHS!"
"Listen I'm really sorry and maybe one day I can pay you back to help you build another one." Danny pleaded but Black Phoenix wasn't hearing it.
"Pay me back. Ha... You'd be spending the rest of your after life trying to pay me back. Do you know how much it cost to get all the parts to build that thing?" Phoenix asked and Danny gave a sheepish grin. "You're lucky you're already dead ghost boy or I'd be burying you in your grave right about now. Heck I'd even hurt you right now, if I didn't think you were so cute and I had a slight liking for you." she admitted dryly and then her eyes widened and she slowly rose a hand to her mouth and turned dangerously red.
"I did not just say that out loud," she asked hoping she hadn't and Danny grinned at what the girl had just admitted
"You did," he said crossing his arms and she desperately shook her head.
"Oh my God," she muttered under her breath. "I can't believe I just said that," her voice jumped a few octaves
"I can't either," Danny grinned. "So you've got a crush on me?"
Black Phoenix turned so red it had to be dangerous for her health. "No," she said dryly trying to regain her demeanor
Danny smirked. "Whatever you say Phoenix,"
Black Phoenix turned her back to him and then frowned. "How long were we chasing Rocket?"
"About an hour," Danny replied and then Danny realized why she asked
"How am I supposed to get home now?" she rounded on him with a glare but she wasn't meeting Danny's eyes. "We're at least a hundred miles from Amity Park."
Danny sighed. He was very tired right now but he at least owed the girl a ride home after destroying her bike.
"Come on, I'll give you lift." he said softly
"I can get home on my own," She replied and the blush on her cheeks returned.
"What are you gonna do call a cab? You really think someone will come and ride you all the way back home Black Phoenix?" Danny asked sarcastically floating off the ground a bit giving her a dry look
"I'll manage," she replied giving Danny a look that said 'don't you dare', but Danny did deciding that it was no use arguing with her and picked her up off the ground bridal style taking off into the air.
"It'll be about an hour," Danny replied and looked into the night sky. He was really making himself later by carrying Phoenix home, but it was the least he could do. He was at least an hour late already. He sighed. His parents were going to kill him...
-.oOOo.-
Danny put Black Phoenix on her feet and shook her slightly to awake her. For the first ten minutes of their flight she wouldn't meet his eyes and he guessed she was still embarassed about admitting- sort of- that she liked him, but after that the girl fell asleep surprising Danny. He was sure the girl would stay awake and guard that mask with her life.
"Phoenix," he whispered and the girls eyes snapped open and narrowed as she stood up straight. "Relax, I brought you to this entrance. I didn't know where you wanted to go." he said and Black Phoenix nodded
"Thanks Phantom," she managed blinking her eyes a bit to get the uncloud her mind and eyes.
"No problem, It was the least I could do for destroying you motorcycle," he replied rubbing his neck nerously
Black Phoenix frowned. Why would he be nervous?
"That's okay. Silver Moon can always build me a new one." she replied still trying to unfog her mind.
"So I'll se you later Phoenix," He hesitated and then kissed her cheek. He then flew into the air and disappeared.
That had certainly helped unfog Black Phoenix's mind as she touched her cheek. Then she went into the tunnel with a hand on her cheek and this time she didn't give have on her hard cold stare. It was of shock and surprise as it finally dawned on her that he had somewhat implied that he might be interested in a relationship with her.
Then she sighed at what she knew was about to come.
"Aly isn't going to let me live this down..."
-,oOOo.-
I bet you all liked that one. I did too. Here's your sneak peak:
"It's like this. Black Phoenix met your evil future self and became evil. She meets you here and starts helping you fight ghost. The way I see it is that she's going to follow you which ever path you choose. So if you were to decide to throw everything you have and destroy the world Black Phoenix would most likely follow." Tucker explained
"That makes... a little sense." Danny replied nodding his head.
"So, now we know a little more about the Black Phoenix. Only thing we don't know now is her identity." Tucker took out his PDA, "What do we know about her?"
"She has black hair, she's sarcastic, a bit blunt, and sadistic, I think she's goth." Danny counted off on his fingers
"That could be anyone Danny within a... maybe thirty mile radius." Tucker exclaimed
"Oh yeah," Danny slapped his forehead. How could he forget the two most unique things about her? "Her hair is like steel and her eyes are violet."
Tucker laughed. "You know, Sam fit's that description completely except for the steel like hair and sadistic part."
It was then at the mention of Sam's name that he remebered two encounters with her that contradicted what Tucker had said. He remembered back to about a four days ago when he was with Sam as Fenton.
See you next update.R&R.
