Chapter Six: Attack of the Fifty Foot Halfa
(AN: Song used is called Dirty Little Secrets by All American Rejects, I think it fits our heroes, don't you?)
March 16, 2008, Saturday
It was another beautiful day in the town of Amity Park. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. It was also unusually warm that day. Since it was such a nice day Eris, the goddess of chaos if you didn't know that, decided to make everything go horrible wrong. She decided that just for the heck of it to release a giant two headed dragon ghost into this town. As always our heroes had to fly in and save the day. So Eris decided to sit back and watch the show.
"Hey you, this is a no scaring zone." said Danny as he hit the Dragon in one of its jaws.
"Danny, that was terrible." said Alicia.
"Hey, they all can't be winners." said Danny as he grabbed the Dragon by the tail and hurled into the air.
"Ok Val, hit it!" said Danny.
Valerie took out her ghost bazooka and started to blast the ghost. It got hit and was sent hurtling towards the ground. When it hit it made a massive crater. Our heroes sent everything that had at the ghost and a huge cloud of dust enveloped the area.
"Well that should take care of that?" said Danny.
But he was wrong, the ghost was still standing. The ghost dragon knocked Danny out of the air with a swipe of its mighty tail. He flew through the air and hit a wall hard, falling to the pavement.
"Danny! Ok puff, you've over stayed your welcome." said Sam.
Using her magic wand she levitated the Dragon off of the ground. The dragon was stuck floating in the air and it tried to escape.
"Alex! Alicia! Open a portal to the Ghost Zone now!" shouted Sam.
Alex and Alicia quickly opened a portal and Sam threw the dragon into it. The portal slammed shut and Sam ran over to see if Danny was all right.
"Danny! Are you all right?" said Sam.
"I'm fine." said Danny, rubbing his shoulder where he hit it.
"I'm glad to hear it, I was so worried about you." said Sam as she gave him a hug.
"Guys, now that we finished off the ghost we have to get back to Danny's house. We have to get the equipment ready for the talent show tonight." said Alicia.
So our heroes ran back to Danny's house to prepare. Meanwhile Eris was disappointed; this had not been much of a show. Then she remembered her favorite tool to use to cause chaos was the father of the ghost child. She decided to hit the halfa close to home, and Jack was doing just the experiment to make that happen.
Danny and friends got back to his house. They started to walk up to Danny's room, where they had stored the equipment. But as they were walking up the stairs Jack yelled from downstairs.
"Hey Danny! I have a new invention to show you!" yelled Jack.
"Shh! Maybe if we are quiet he might think we aren't here." said Danny.
"I know your up there, the ghost detector says so!" yelled Jack.
"Busted, we might as well get it over with." said Tucker as they marched down to the lab.
When they got down to the lab Jack was standing there with a big smile on his face.
"Hey kids! I made some improvements to the Fenton Crammer, now it not only shrinks ghosts, it makes them bigger as well." said Jack.
"Uh, why would you want to make them bigger?" said Alicia.
"I don't know, I just got the sudden urge to make the Fenton Crammer enlarge things." Said Jack, somewhere the goddess of chaos was laughing.
"That's great dad, but we have to be going." said Danny.
"Before you leave watch me enlarge that apple over there." said Jack, aiming the Fenton Crammer at the apple.
Jack fired the crammer and the beam flew through the air. But since he has very bad aim the shot went wild and hit a nearby mirror. It started to bounce around the lab and it eventually came back at our heroes. The beam hit Danny, and since Sam was holding his hand at the time it affected her too.
"Ahhhh!" screamed Danny and Sam as the beam hit them.
"Danny! Sam!" shouted everybody.
The damage was done, Danny and Sam began to grow.
"Danny, Sam, you have to get out of the house now!" said Jack.
Danny and Sam started to run up the stairs, they were already so tall they had to duck to get out the door to the lab. When they got to the front door they had to squeeze their way out. Finally they were on the street, and still growing. They kept growing and growing, soon they were as tall as the house, moments later they could see into the ops center. Finally they stopped growing, the others ran out to see what had happened.
"Yes! I knew it would work!" shouted Jack.
"Mr. Fenton, if you haven't noticed your son and his girlfriend are now as tall as the house. I think that might be considered a bad thing." said Valerie.
"Hmm, you could be right." said Jack.
"Yeah, considering that Mrs. Fenton seems to be heading this way." said Tucker.
The Fenton RV was speeding towards the Fenton house and came to a screeching stop. Out of it jumped Maddie and she stopped in shock to see her now movie monster sized son.
"Jack, what happened?" said Maddie, looking very upset with her husband.
"Nothing, I was testing a new setting on the Fenton Crammer when it sort of backfired." said Jack, looking guilty as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well that explains why Danny and Sam are now as tall as the ops center." said Maddie.
"Hey dad, you left some old pizza up here." said Danny.
Maddie got out the Fenton Megaphone and began to talk to Danny (AN: I am still amazed at how many things they put the word Fenton on.)
"Danny! Sam! Are you alright?" said Maddie.
"I'm fine mom, except for the fact that I'm now fifty feet tall." said Danny.
"I'm ok too, and I can see my house from here." said Sam.
"That's good, don't worry, we'll get you back to normal in no time." said Maddie as she turned to Jack.
"You can fix this right?" said Maddie.
"Of course I can!" said Jack as he prepared to fire, but the crammer gave out a pathetic spark and stopped.
"Uh oh, it seems that I wasted all the power with the first shot. I'll have to power this baby back up before I can turn them back to normal." said Jack.
"How long should this take?" said Maddie.
"No more then a few hours." said Jack.
"I hope so, we need Sam back to normal for the talent show tonight. I don't think she can play bass when she's taller then the auditorium." said Alicia.
"Well even if we don't have her back to normal you guys will certainly have the most interesting act in the show." said Tucker.
"Not helping Tucker." said Alex.
"Honey you go charge the crammer, I'll tell Danny and Sam what's happening." said Maddie.
Jack ran into the house and Maddie turned to her larger then life son, who had decided to bend down to talk.
"Danny I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we can change you back to normal, the bad news is that the crammer has to charge for several hours first." said Maddie.
"That's ok mom, we can wait." said Danny.
"So what do we do till you can change us back to normal?" said Sam.
"Well you can't sit in the street like you are doing." said Maddie, pointing to the honking cars that had stopped a little ways away.
Danny and Sam moved out of the street so the cars could now pass.
"Maybe we can go to the park, its really large so you guys can have a lot of room." said Valerie.
"That's a good idea." said Maddie.
So our heroes began to walk to the park, but they did not go there unnoticed.
"Clancy! There's a giant boy and girl walking down the street." said a random neighbor lady.
"Did you forget to take your medicine again?" said Clancy.
"Maybe." said the lady.
Eris decided at this time to spice up this little disaster in the making. She decided to release Skulker into the town.
"What am I doing here? Oh well, since I'm here I might as well hunt the ghost child and his friends." said Skulker.
He took out one of his tracker and began to search for Danny and the others.
Not that it would have been that hard to find them. As our heroes were walking down to the park they got a lot of stares from the people on the street.
"Hey buddy, take a picture it will last longer." said Alicia to a man staring at the two giant teenagers.
Unfortunately most people took this as a license to take pictures, which they did. This annoyed Sam a great deal.
"Hey, stop that." said Sam.
The people immediately stopped taking pictures, thinking it not wise to anger a person who could squash them. But some people are too stupid to know when to shut up.
"Hey look its Fentina and his girlfriend." said Dash.
"I knew you were losers, but I never knew you were such big losers." said Paullina.
"You idiots do realize that they can crush you just by stepping on you?" said Alex.
"Yeah, taunting giants is not a very wise thing to do." said Valerie.
"Like they would actually step on us…they wouldn't would they?" said Star.
"Do you really want to find out?" said Alicia.
Thinking that they were about to be road kill they ran for it. But since Danny and Sam were so tall they had not heard what was said. They bent down to talk to their friends.
Hey guys, what's up with Dash and the others, why did they run away so fast?" said Danny.
"Oh they just had to get to some sort of football thing." said Alicia.
"Let me guess, they insulted us and you said we would step on them for it." said Sam.
"Pretty much, yeah." said Tucker.
"Hey guys! The park is just ahead." said Valerie.
Soon our heroes were in a section of the park that no one went to. Here they could be alone until Jack and Maddie brought the Fenton Crammer to fix this mess. What they didn't know is that Skulker was just about to enter the park.
"Ok, my tracker says the ghost child and his friends should be just…oh my goodness!" said Skulker as he saw what had happened to Danny and Sam.
"Hmm, I may need a bigger weapon." said Skulker, looking at the tiny wrist laser he had.
He looked through the inventory of weapons he had and finally decided on the mega cannon. This device was to be used only on large game, but since Danny and Sam were the size of dinosaurs now it would work fine.
"Trophies this amazing should be taken alive, I'll just set it to paralyze them." said Skulker as he fired.
The beam of energy went straight at Danny and hit him in the back.
"Ow! What the heck just…hit…me?" said Danny as he fell over.
"Danny!" said Sam and the others.
But before they knew it Sam was also hit and on the ground.
"Yes! It worked, now to claim my prize." said Skulker.
"You'll get them over our dead bodies." said Valerie.
"Well if you insist." said Skulker as he fired a bunch of missiles at them.
"Guys, we have to get him away from Danny and Sam." said Valerie.
Our heroes quickly got ready to fight the hunter ghost. Alicia sent a shot from her magic wand that sent Skulker flying out of the clearing they were in. They flew off to fight Skulker. It did not take them long to find him because he sent a laser blast at them. The blast hit them and knocked them back.
"You will all soon be part of my collection!" roared Skulker as he attacked.
The battle began again with Skulker and our heroes firing laser blasts at each other. Valerie took out one of her ghost grenades and threw it at Skulker. But he went intangible and it went right through him.
"Is that the best that you can do?" said Skulker.
"Look again ghost." said Valerie.
Skulker turned to see that the grenade had sprouted wings and was heading right for him. Before he could do anything the grenade exploded and knocked him out of the sky. He crashed into the ground but was quickly back up.
"You will pay for that." shouted Skulker as he went back to fighting our heroes.
Meanwhile Jack and Maddie were racing to the park with the now fully charged Fenton Crammer. They were using the Fenton Ghost Radar to locate where Danny and the others were. When they got into the clearing they saw that Danny and Sam were paralyzed and they heard the sounds of the battle nearby.
"Jack! Quickly get the Fenton Anti-Ghost Paralyzing Medicine." said Maddie.
Jack quickly brought over the medicine and gave it to Danny and Sam. They started to move around and finally sat up.
"Ow, that thing certainly packs a punch." said Danny.
"Danny, Sam, are you alright?" said Maddie.
"Despite feeling like I just got hit by a car, yeah, I'm fine." said Sam.
"Yeah, I'm ok too mom." said Danny.
"Good, because the Fenton Crammer is charged and ready to turn you two back to normal" said Jack.
"Wait just a minute dad, there is something I want to do first." said Danny as he turned into Danny Phantom.
On the other side of the park Skulker had captured our heroes in a net and was swinging them around.
"Ahhh! I'm going to be sick." said Tucker.
"I told you you would pay for this, and now that I have you will go back for the other two." said Skulker.
Skulker laughed at his prey, but he did not notice the giant hand reaching towards him. Soon the hand had grabbed him and he let go of the net, which was quickly caught by another hand.
"You guys alright?" said Sam as she opened the net.
"We're fine." said Alicia.
"Good, you guys rest while we take care of Skulker." said Danny.
"What are you going to do to me?" said Skulker.
"We decided to play a little game of hacky sack." said Danny.
"Uh oh." said Skulker.
Soon Danny and Sam were kicking Skulker up into the air and back and fourth.
"Ahhh! Make it stop!" shouted Skulker.
"Gladly." said Sam as she let him drop to the ground.
Skulker looked up to see Maddie standing in front of him with a Fenton Thermos.
"Oh crud." was all Skulker said before he was sucked into the thermos.
"Now that this crisis is over lets get Danny and Sam back to normal." said Maddie.
Jack fired the Fenton Crammer at Danny and Sam. The ray worked instantly and they started to shrink back to normal size. Pretty soon they were back to their normal selves.
"Whoa, glad that is over." said Danny.
"Yeah, imagine if we showed up at the talent show like this." said Sam.
"My god! The talent show! We were supposed to get our costumes for it at the mall today!" said Alicia.
"What! Then we better hurry!" said Alex as the teens raced off to the mall.
But in the clouds Eris was about to cause more trouble for our heroes. Just as she was about to release more chaos a vortex opened up near her. Out of it stepped a familiar figure holding a large scythe.
"Ah Grim, do what do I owe the displeasure of your visit?" said the goddess to the young man with glowing yellow eyes.
"I want you to leave those kids alone, they suffer enough without you messing up their lives." said Grim.
"And whose going to stop me, certainly not you." said Eris.
"I know, that is why I went and told your boss Zeus about your little puppet show." said Grim.
"What!" said Eris, then her cell phone rang.
"Hello, oh Zeus what do you…I know I'm not…yes I know it is…but let me…oh fine I'll come back home." said Eris as she hung up.
"Thanks a lot, you just got me grounded for the next millennium." said Eris.
"Your quite welcome." said Grim mockingly.
With that Eris disappeared, leaving Grim all by himself.
"Well I hope Danny and his friends appreciate this. Challenging a goddess is dangerous business. Hmm, maybe I'll take in a show to relax a little." thought Grim as he went down to Earth, specifically the auditorium of Casper High.
Meanwhile our heroes had just gotten to the mall and were headed for the costume shop that had the stuff they wanted. As they passed a clothing store Danny's ghost sense went off, he looked in to see the strangest sight he had seen all day.
"Yeah, these jeans make me look even more sexy." said Desiree as she looked in a mirror at the new jeans she was wearing.
"Uh guys, do you see what I see." said Danny.
"If you mean Desiree in a store in a pair of jeans then yeah, that's what you are seeing." said Alex.
"Uh, why is Desiree trying on jeans?" said Tucker.
"Yeah, and since when did she have legs to put them on?" said Sam.
"It's a long story and it can wait till we get the costumes for the show, lets move." said Alicia as she pushed them on.
Our heroes quickly got what they had come for and went back to the clothing store. After a quick explanation from Alicia and a warning to go shop at the Ghost Zone mall next time to Desiree (With her grumbling about them having a poor selection) our heroes raced back to Danny's house. They got the equipment and headed over to the school auditorium. Pretty soon it was time for the talent show. Sam, Alicia and Alex stood back stage in their punk rocker outfits, which sort of made them look like the band Green Day. (AN: If you haven't noticed from my other stories, I love Green Day, They rock!)
"I'm so nervous guys." said Alicia.
"Don't worry, you guys will do great." said Danny.
"Yeah, you'll rock the house." said Tucker.
"Go out there and show them how it's done." said Valerie.
The act before them just finished, which had been Dash and Paullina doing ballet, much to Dash's embarrassment.
"Hey losers, break a leg, and when I say that I mean really break a leg." said Dash.
"I'll show you breaking a leg…" said Sam as she was about to cause Dash to trip.
"No, we can get back at them later, right now we have to go on stage." said Alicia.
Meanwhile on stage Lancer was announcing their act.
"The last act for tonight is a musical group, please give a round of applause for Hex." said Mr. Lancer.
"Break a leg you guys." said Danny, actually meaning it as good luck, unlike Dash.
They got into place just as the curtain rose and the audience stopped clapping, then they started to play.
Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you
Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know
I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know
When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you
Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know
I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It's eating me apart
Trace this line back
I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)
I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Who has to know
Who has to know
And with that they finished. When they were done the audience, who were mostly students of the school, gave a thunderous applause. They were cheering our heroes and they could not have felt more wonderful then they did at that moment. High up in the rafters one fan was also clapping.
"You did good kids, to bad its over. Oh well back to work." said Grim as he left to do his never ending job.
"You guys were awesome!" said Danny.
"You guys rocked the house!" said Tucker.
"You did great! You guys are going to win for sure." said Valerie.
"Shh! Lancers announcing the winner." said Alex.
"Ok ladies and gentlemen, it is time to announce our winners. And the winners are…Hex!" said Mr. Lancer.
"We won!" shouted Sam, Alicia and Alex as they hugged each other.
They then went out to get their award and thank everyone. It was now after the show and our heroes were talking.
"Well it sure has been one crazy day." said Tucker.
"Yeah, I always wanted to be taller but that was not what I had in mind." said Danny.
"I do have to admit, it was sort of neat to be able to walk a mile in a minute." said Sam.
"Yeah, and remember how you handled Skulker, I don't think he will be bothering us for a while." said Valerie.
"Well despite the craziness everything turned out ok. We got Danny and Sam back to normal, made it to the talent show, and we won these cool medals." said Alicia
"Yeah, I would say it has been a good day." said Alex.
And so our heroes end another day, but what will happen tomorrow?
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Rob: Well six chapters down, eight to go.
Ember: Yeah, and I have the feeling it won't be getting any easier for Danny and the others.
Rob: Of course not, it wouldn't be entertaining if nothing happened.
Ember: Hey Rob, it's almost time to hurt Vlad again.
Rob" Your right, wouldn't want to disappoint the readers. Rob pulls the hurt Vlad lever. We see on the TV that Vlad is taking a relaxing swim in his pool. But suddenly the pool starts to shake and a huge wave forms in the pool. It carries Vlad out of the pool and down a hill, making sure he hits all the trees and thorn bushes on the way down. Finally Vlad comes to rest at the bottom of the hill.
Vlad: Thank evil that is over. Then Vlad notices that he has landed in the middle of the Fluffy Army of Doom's annual family picnic.
Random cat: Meow, meow meow meow meow! Translation: Hey kids, its time to learn how to hurt villains like your old man!
Vlad: Oh Butter biscuits! Vlad is then attacked by the kids of the Fluffy Army of Doom.
Vlad: Not the Face! Not the Face!
Rob: Well it looks like the future of the Fluffy Army of Doom is in good hands.
Ember: Yeah, it brings a tear to your eye to see the torch being passed to a new generation.
Rob: Actually I think they are using torches.
Vlad: Ahhhh! It burns! Vlad runs screaming over the horizon as the kids of the Fluffy Army of Doom chase after him.
Rob: Now that we have all got our daily recommended amount of Vlad being hurt, let's end this chapter.
Well once again our heroes have come out of a bad situation intact. They managed to get Danny and Sam back to normal and beat up Skulker. Also Alicia, Alex and Sam won the talent show. But who knows what will happen tomorrow? Read the next chapter of 14 Days in the Life of Danny Phantom to find out.
Ember: Now that that is over we can have some alone time.
Rob: Me like, so until next time Danny Phantom fans, Read and Review.
