Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School. I do not own the original story this is based on.
"What's going on here?" Danny asked as he noticed the ghost girls in the same unusual attires. "What are you two doing here?"
"Well," the banshee started. "It began after I went to bed. I woke up here in this strange place and..."
"Huh?" Phanty said as she got up and observed her surroundings.
"Where am I?" Phanty asked and then looked down to notice her appearance. Her dress was more akin to a jack-o-lantern melted down to a droopy mess of clothing. It was still modest leaving her arms, head, and legs down exposed, but was not very fashionable, in human standards that is. "How did I get into this? It's kinda nice."
Just then, she heard someone groan, and she turned around, getting defensive.
Her eyes narrowed at who she saw.
It is her arch-rival, Spectra Vondergesit, on her knees, gripping her head, and she, for some reason, is wearing a weird dress too, except hers seem more of a mix of a spider web made out of chains and stained glass.
Once Spectra opened her eyes, she glared and her and shot up.
"YOU?!" the shy ghost girl yelled.
'You!" Phanty said, and Spectra floated to her a rather nasty look on her face.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!..."The two ghouls yelled at each other."
"Not that it's any of your business, you crawlflower, but I just woke up in this weird place, wearing this admittedly nice outfit...what are you doing here?..."Phanty said with her arms crossed.
Spectra frowned at being called a crawl-flower but still answered.
"I am not sure why I am here. Last I remember, I was in my room, doing the final touches for my blog..."Spectra said. "Went I went to bed, I woke up here. In this."
The two, while a bit hostile to one another, were confused as to why they were here.
"This is just like when father tried to get us to be friends," Phanty commented.
"Yeah...by the way, sorry to hear your father found out about you and Danny," Spectra said with sincerity.
The banshee accepted the words with a nod, despite the fact she was suspicious when she heard the boy's name. It was still apparent she had feelings for him. It was only a matter of time when she would haunt Amity Park.
But they had no one else to turn to, so they floated around as they tried to figure out where they are.
"This is place is weirder than a—"
"Lady Kaw Kaw concert?"
Phantasma looked to the specter who finished her sentence, as the other did the same. They actually had a moment where they were not fighting.
The ghouls floated in silence, staring until they snickered. It wasn't long before they started laughing louder and louder.
"Who's there?" Came a familiar voice.
One that had the girls back to their usual selves flying to the source to see a familiar boy. In a similar outfit.
Though his was more akin to a palette of colors from black to white with his symbol.
Danny?" The two girls said at once.
The ghost boy turned to see them.
"Phanty? Spectra!?"
"Danny!...," the spirits exclaimed happily as they floated towards him.
Phantasma, anticipating Spectra, sped faster and hugged him before the older ghoul could. The pout on her rival's face, proved the banshee to be correct in her judgment. Though it didn't stop the two from embracing the boy as tight as they could.
I can't get a break? Not even in my dreams!? Phanty thought in jealous anger, before turning to her boyfriend.
"My haunting hunk!" Phanty said as she squeezed him a little, trying to push off Spectra, who responded by gripping onto him.
Now fully awake and aware of what is happening, Danny managed to slip out of their grasps.
"And after that, you asked your question, and here we are," Phantasma finished as the ghost boy blinked in confusion. "So, yeah. I have no idea."
"Neither do I," Spectra admitted."
Danny heard this and tried to think.
"Okay, last I remember, I was doing homework after fighting three ghosts. After that, I went to bed and woke up here dressed weird and in a place that looks like it belongs in a museum. The question is, how and why?" the boy explained.
"There is definitely something ghoulish going about," Spectra said, a little freaked out by the environment.
Even Phantasma agreed, something the ghost boy took notice of. He would ask more about that later.
"But you'll find a way to get us out of here, won't you Danny?" the shy ghoul asked sweetly with her hands clasp together.
"Uh, definitely try," Danny replied with a raised brow.
At those words, Spectra blushed deeply as she floated closer.
"Thank you, Danny. you truly are a brave man," the specter said getting closer before her eyes stopped being sultry to say. "by the way after this I need you to-"
"You done?" Phanty interrupted with a flat tone.
Phantasma practically growled at the sight of Spectra's blatant flirting.
Why that no good, VAMPOSER, HUSSY OF A CRAWLFLOWER! Phanty thought in fury.
"Excuse me?" Spectra would not have anything with this banshee right now.
"You heard me. Danny right now is dreaming of me. So, he wants me to be here. Now move along!"
The shy ghost girl was already reaching her limit with the ghouls. Yes, she was the halfa's girlfriend and had the right to be jealous, but she didn't always have to be so rude about it. If she were with him instead, rivalry aside, at least Spectra expected herself to be polite.
"He wants you? Danny here is also dreaming about me! SO what does that say?" Spectra got close and wrapped her arms around the ghost boy.
"Oh, is that so? You want proof of how much my Haunting Hunk wants me, huh?!..."Phanty yelled, and Danny's eyes widen at that.
"Wait, Phanty calm do-
Danny was silenced when Phanty grabbed him and pulled him into a kiss, quickly using her tongue to silence him. Danny was stun but soon found himself losing will power and soon found himself kissing her back.
This oughta show that haunting hussy! Phanty possessively thought in anger.
While Spectra was jealous, she was more seething with rage at her rival's antic.
Now was not the time for petty jealousy or making out. But the ghoul couldn't deny how she wished places could be switched.
Phanty's jealous anger soon melted into pleasure by kissing her boyfriend.
"It's been too long," the banshee moaned as she gasped for breath.
"We saw each other two days ago," Danny retorted.
"Exactly."
Somewhere in the kiss, Phanty soon forgot about Spectra and just got into it, wrapping her arms and her foot popping as it continued.
If kissing in the human world was good, dream world kisses were on another level. It seemed less of the melding of lips than it was of minds.
Despite the pleasure, Danny has a feeling this was too much, something Phantasma didn't pick up.
With some hesitation, the ghost boy pried himself off his girlfriend. They seemed to gasp for air like a fish out of water. After a few minutes of sobriety, the banshee finally calmed down.
Spectra, more concerned than jealous at the moment, flew over to see what was the matter.
"Are you two ghoulright?" the shy girl asked as she tried to pat Phanty in the back.
"We're fine," Danny panted. "But I think we shouldn't make out here. It's too much."
The ghost girl would have prodded further, but a loud roar was heard as a creature jumped into the group before slashing away with claws and a tail.
"Hey, that hurts!" Danny cried out. "Wait a minute, that hurts?"
"Danny, watch out!" Spectra cried as she reached her hand out only for the creature to take a swipe at her. Luckily she phased through the ground to appear in front of the ghost boy.
Danny stepped back to study the new challenger. It was a dark red bipedal creature that had three heads: a lion's in the middle, a goat's on the left, and a cobra's on the right. It had the upper body of a humanoid lion possessing clawed hands, its legs had cloven hooves like a goat, and it had a long scaly tail resembling that of a snake.
"What is this!?" The ghost boy cried out?"
"It's a chimera, a rare magical creature that-"
"Hey! Get your hand off, Danny!" Phantasma cried out.
Spectra heard this and rolled her eyes. While she did jump to the boy, it was out of fear.
"Seriously? We are being attacked by a dream demon that can physically hurt us, and you're jealous?"
"Jealous?! Of you?! As if!" Phanty shouted.
"Then why are you so shush?"
"GIRLS! Argue later, we have three fraternal twins sharing a body that wants to kill us!" Danny shouted, getting their attention. "First, what the heck is that thing, and how could it hurt us if this is supposed to be just a dream?"
"As I said, it's a Chimera. A beast that is capable of traversing through everyone's dreams and harming them, "Spectra explained. "Any damage incurred here happens in the real world as well. So please be careful."
At her words, the shy ghost looked to the ghost boy with pleading eyes. If one looked closely, they could see some tears forming.
"In other words, the brother of Freddy Krueger got it!" Danny said as he charged ahead and blasted the beats away.
While powerful, the exit-energy could only do so much as the chimera soon brushed it off and marched toward. All three heads stared at the ghost boy.
But Danny wouldn't let it near him. At worst, it could harm Phanty and Spectra. So, the boy froze the three-headed beast solid before he lifted it up and threw it across with all his might.
"Danny, you did it!" Phantasma exclaimed as she hugged the boy.
However, the ghostly hero didn't feel the same.
"I don't think it's gone," he said sternly. "Let's move."
As they navigated the artistic rip off of the landscape, the trio was eerily silent. They didn't want to alert the beast but were also trying to avoid fighting.
Though that was mainly the ghost girls who argued about the ghost boy dreaming about, they spoke quietly.
Though Danny had questioning thoughts as he looked to them. The girl stopped to hear his impression on the matter.
"How can this be a dream? Yes, I would think about Phanty in a dream, but I wouldn't also have another girl in them when I'm taken. I'm not that kind of guy anymore."
"You...have a point," Spectra admitted. "you wouldn't have both of us here when you're dating the other."
Phantasma nodded her head.
"Yeah, my Danny is as loyal as they come," Phanty said. "But it doesn't explain this mess."
Danny tried to think, but soon something came to him, from the last time he had to deal with a dream adventure.
"Why do I get the feeling I should know someone who can do this?" Danny asked himself.
The girls didn't catch what he said, but when they asked for him to speak up, a large, dull grey door appeared. Opening up, a hand reaches out and grabbed the ghost boy, spectating the ghouls from him as it slammed shut and disappeared.
"Danny!" the girls cried out in sync.
Danny soon found himself in a dull grey hallway of doors. All of the entrances were of the same color and pattern, save for names etched in the door. Turning around, the ghost boy checked the doorway behind him. He opened it up but saw a different world than what he was in.
"Okay. This reeks of evil villain set up," the boy said as he glanced down the hall. "But it looks like I don't have any better option than to play along."
Flying along the path, a door opens silently as someone walks out. With a click of the door, the ghost boy turns to the sound and sees he's not alone.
"What the heck are you?" Danny asked what appears to be a red dragon. "I'd ask if you know Spyro or Shenron, but I think Mushu would know you better."
The reptile saw the ghost boy, who had glowing fists out. In retaliation, the beast flew to the ghost boy, who did nothing to block. Within seconds, fist connects, and the ghost boy is sent flying backwards.
"What the heck!? Since when does a fist hit me?" Danny asked no one as he got up to see his opponent strike a stance.
"So, you're the one causing trouble! Yo! I don't know who you are, but you're about ta get a lesson from the Am Drag!"
Danny Phantom blinked as if he had a stroke. He couldn't believe the dragon hit him and talked just now. But anything was possible in this world right now.
"Okay, Am Drag, bring it. When I'm done with you, you'll be the next Toothless," the ghostly hero quipped as he fired away.
"Bring it on! Last I checked, that dragon is popular, so that means I'm gonna win," the dragon said as he flew past the shots and landed a kick into the ghost boy's stomach.
The two charged at each other as a figure watched from the ceiling above. Danny flung a punch, but the Am Drag flew over it and somersaulted a tail swipe onto the boy's head, slamming him into the ground.
"That the best you got?" the dragon quipped as Danny got up. He cracked his knuckles as he saw the red reptile beckoned him. It was on.
Or so they thought, as soon as they were within each other's range, a loud scream was heard. Distracted, the two punched each other in the face before standing up straight.
"The Chimera!"
"Phanty! Spectra!"
The two raced to the source as they noticed each other going in the same direction.
"Wait? You didn't release the chimera!?" the red dragon asked.
"What!? No! I was in the same dream with my girlfriend and another girl, I think, and suddenly the thing attacked us!"
"Suddenly!? Wait! Girlfriend and another girl!?" now Danny was eyed suspiciously.
"Not like that. I don't get why, but they might not be my dream girl or girl. I think it's actually them."
"In the dream world, anything is possible. With the right magic, you can visit other people's dreams or meet each other for a dream date!"
The two flew towards the continuous screaming they heard and arrived at the door. Oddly enough, the entrance had no name on it but looked the same as every other door. As they opened it, the ghost boy had one thing to ask.
"This must be the door...also, dream date?"
"You should try it. Give you plenty of time to do homework and chill with your girlfriend anywhere. It's da bomb!"
"I'll try when we make it out of here. By the way, I'm Danny phantom."
"The first American Dragon, Jake Long."
The two nodded and went through, expecting the worst. Fortunately, the girls had managed to keep the creature at bay. But that didn't make the situation any less terrifying as the chimera leaped, snapped, and clawed at the ghouls.
"Get this thing away from us!" The girls shouted as they dodged and tricked it into hitting a wall of whatever else was around.
"After this, I am asking mother for some self-defense lessons!" Phantasma cried out.
"Same here!" Spectra said in agreement.
"This is is bad," Danny commented as he and Jake flew over and rammed the creature.
The chimera got up to see the angry ghost boy along with the American Dragon. Seeing itself now outnumbered, it charged forward attacking at the sides before using incredible speed to get away.
"It's fast," the ghost boy said as he went to make sure the ghouls were alright.
"Thanks," Spectra said with a blush. Usually, Phanty would be jealous, but she had been distracted by the appearance of Jake.
"Danny, my haunting hunk, who's your new friend?"
The dynamic duo stopped as they realized introductions are due right now. Danny cleared his throat as Jake dusted himself off.
"Phanty. Spectra. Meet the American Dragon, Jake Long," the ghost boy introduced his new ally, who struck a pose.
"A dragon! We're meeting a dragon!?" Spectra asked in amazement.
"You make sound like a big deal. There are dragons everywhere," Phanty commented, rolling her eyes.
"Dragons are the sacred protectors of magical creatures like us," the ghost girl explained as she got out her phone. "And we're meeting with the first American dragon! This is Altoona on my blog. May I?"
Jake, happy to meet a fan, nodded as Spectra floated around him and took a selfie.
"This is gonna scare the Monsternet," the ghost girl said in excitement as she hashtagged before posting.
"That's great," Phanty said sarcastically. "But how do we deal with the three-headed monster?"
"So then we got an out of control chimera let loose in the dream world, and when that happens, he can harm a lot of folks. Even when they're awake," Jake explained.
"I take it you know how to capture one?"
"A few years ago, I accidentally...released it," Jake sheepishly said, rubbing the back of his head.
"You what!?"
"Hey, I didn't know it was trapped in my teacher's dreams. We just need a magical snare."
"Please tell me you have one."
From the dragon's claws, a small box was produced. The ghost boy, while relieved, couldn't help wonder how the tiny container would work. Then again, the small matter happens with the Fenton Thermos, and he had a few trips in there before.
"Why do you think I was in the dream world in the first place?" the red dragon asked.
"Okay...now how do we manage to get him in it?" Danny replied.
"The Am Drag here has a plan," Jake boasted as the ghost boy raised a brow, ignoring his self-appointed title as he leaned up to hear the plan.
The two soon flew over to an open spot. Somewhere with space, but also cover if needed. Jake flew into the air to search and give away their location. There was no point in having a plan if nothing happens. But before anything, Spectra floated to the ghost boy in a hurry, under the protest of the banshee.
"Spectra, what are you doing?" Danny asked with concern. This wasn't like her.
"Danny, listen. I need to-"
"After this, we can go somewhere together. Alone!" Phanty interjected the shy girl.
Spectra pouted an angry look but ignored her.
"Danny listen, there's something—"
"Back off, you haunting hussy!" Phantasma interjected once more—this time making her intentions known.
"Now listen here, little ghoul. I'm trying to-"
"Ask my boyfriend on a date!"
"Not that!"
"Yeah, you were!" Phanty seethed.
Spectra tried to get a word in, but the young banshee wasn't having any of it. And butted in when she could.
"Will you stop bat!?" the ghost girl yelled.
"Not until you admit you're only here to try something with Danny! Especially since you can't accept the fact that he chose me over you from the dating service!"
"Wait...dating service? YouMe=Love!?" Jake asked a wide-eyed Danny.
"You took it as well?" the ghost boy had wondered about the service, but seeing a big red dragon that had signed up, reinstated his concerns and questions. But, he doubts there would ever be answers.
"Yeah, after something happened with this girl and me. I signed up and got a few second dates. though one I wanted didn't pick me."
"Who'd you pick?"
"I...it's not important right now," Jake said a bit down.
Danny picked up on that and tried to give a friendly gesture, like a pat on the back, but he had only known the reptile for a bit. They hadn't precisely bro'd out. And he didn't have to as the roar of the chimera stopped everything.
"It's coming," Jake said sternly.
"Then we're gonna need a plan," Danny added.
"Yo! Check this out!" the dragon boy exclaimed as he whispered into the ghost boy's ear.
With a nod and smirk, the duo had a plan as they told Phantasma and Spectra to hide. They didn't want to risk anything.
With a deafening roar, the chimera had rammed the two from behind. Pushed apart, the ghost and dragon began fighting back with ecto and fire. Danny and Jake kept a reasonable distance.
"I think I can fight this guy all night," Danny said, encasing the chimera in solid ice, only for the beast to shatter its prison. "But-"
"We need to end this," Jake finished with breaths of flames heating the foe too fast. "I getcha. Get in position!"
The supernatural duo landed a proper distance away as they shot back at the creature. The ghost boy took aim and fired three icicles at the lion, goat, and snake heads on the beast.
That got it mad.
The chimera charged as Danny kept firing, but just as the three-headed beast lunges at him, he moved o it of the way. For a particular dragon who had the magical snare ready.
Within seconds, the chimera was sealed up as the dragon boy hollered in victory.
"Got it!" Jake exclaimed. "Whoo! Looks like this chimera won't be getting out again soon!"
The teens cheered in excitement as the ghost girl hugged Danny as they came out from their hiding spots.
"That was clawesome!" Spectra cried out.
"Phantastic! You two were a scream team!" Phanty cried out.
"Seriously? He was the bait, and he gets a hug?" Jake asked teasingly.
The ghouls looked to their ghost boy before they glanced at the Am Drag. With a small smile, they floated over and embraced him.
"Wa-wait! What? I was just kidding!" Jake exclaimed as the girl hugged him now.
"No need to be jealous," Phanty teased.
"You did a great job as well," Spectra said.
Their words added to the blush forming on the dragon, who was already red naturally. He was looking more like a shiny tomato at the fair.
Danny chuckled before he focused on more important matters.
"I still don't understand something," Danny pondered out loud.
"What is it?" Jake asked once the hug was over.
"Who did this? This can't be a coincidence," He questioned before his ghost sense went off.
"Because I commanded it to be!" came a commanding, deep, authoritative voice.
Danny and company looked up to see Nocturn, the ghost of dreams looking down upon them. The nightmare spirit was angry as he swooped down shattered the ground as spikes rose up, separating the group.
"I had gathered you and the pesky ghost girls for my revenge and had released my old friend the chimera. I didn't think a dragon would appear to help."
"That's the American Dragon to you!" Jake said.
"Wait a minute?" Danny shouted.
"What?!" Nocturn asked, annoyed.
"Look, revenge, I can understand, but why bring both Phanty and Spectra into this?" Danny asked, still not understanding.
"I believe someone once said, 'revenge is a dish best served cold.' And what would be colder than to exact revenge on you then to include the people you care about? Though I admit, I was aiming for the banshee, but the powers I used apparently summoned the ghost girl too."
Nocture answered with a wicked, wide grin. His fist eloped with energy as the ground rose up to scrap the ghost girls, knocking them back a ways.
"Not that I'm complaining. I guess she thinks of you a lot as well."
That was enough to get the ghost boy charging in as he attempted to deliver a kick to the dream spirit, only for the attack to go through him. However, unlike most times when fighting ghosts, this specter didn't even seem to turn intangible.
"I don't get it," Danny panted. "How can you hit him?"
"Cause I have a charm," Jake answered, delivering a tail swipe to the ghost. "Yep, these things let you move around without guys like Nocturn here interfering."
"I always hated those things," Nocturne sternly said as he levitated Spectra and Phantasma. "As for the rest of you, you're guests. which means I can do whatever I want."
"But I-"
"Invaded my dreams last time. Here, you are asleep and at the mercy of my powers."
Both Phantom and dragon flew in with fists and claws out. This time, the dream spirit disappeared behind a wall of earth.
Jake slammed into it, but Danny tried to phase through it to no avail.
"What the heck!?" the ghost boy exclaimed as he rubbed his head.
"Dudes going next level," the Am Drag states as he looked around.
"Exactly!" Nocturne gloated from behind as he blasted the duo. "I can do anything I want here. And if I want wall you can't go through, then so it shall be. Even if you have charms."
"You stole that last line from Desiree!" the ghost boy quipped as he and his partner took to the skies.
Leading the attack, Danny went in, diving around the specter. He fired rays of energy and ice in an attempt to do something. Ineffective as it was, the ghost boy had managed to distract long enough for Jake to connected with a few punches and a tail swipe.
The spirit rubbed the sore spot as he went back to fighting. Their teamwork was improving, but the ghost boy and dragon still had some catching up to do.
Phantasma watched in horror, contemplating on what to do.
"I-I-I just wish I could grab that dream doofus and show him a thing or two!"
As if by her command, metal chains had sprung from the ground and constricted itself around the ghost of dreams.
"What's going on!?" a struggling Nocturne shouted as the chained threw him around. "I am the ghost of dreams. I control what happens here!"
"How are you doing that?" Danny asked.
"I...I don't know, I just was tired of staying on the sidelines," Phanty said.
Jake then grinned as it came to him.
"Of course, this is the dream world! We can do whatever we want!"
"Hey, yeah. I should be able to do whatever I want in my dreams," Danny realized as a plan formed in his mind. "Now, the question is, how am I going to do this?"
As if answering his questions, Phantasma came up from the ground with a string of instruments. The ghoul herself was dressed similarly to an orchestra's conductor.
"How about I help with some battle screams!" Phanty exclaimed.
"Oh please," Nocturne scoffed. "You really think some music will hurt me? And I think you mean, battle music."
"Nope," the banshee replied with a wide grin as she called with the instruments. Each one began screaming in a different chord, that somehow resembled music. It was pretty catchy as the ghost of dreams covered his ear in disagreement.
He would have retaliated, had it not been for the horde of angry ghosts rushing in massive numbers. He was practically buried in them while Danny and Jake watched in confusion and cathartic joy.
"Music can soothe a savage beast, but I think you need to chill with some games," Spectra said, fiddling with her iCoffin. "How about some Angry Ghouls?"
Nocturn burst out from the pile of videogames characters, their bodies turning into bits and bytes as they disappeared.
"Not your game? Then how about some Candy Skullcrush? Or Ink Demon Rush? Better yet, have some Pumpkin Ninja!"
The ghoul pressed the buttons on her phone, and one by one, sugar skulls came flying down with pumpkins that had ninjas jump out upon impact.
The dream spirit was growing tired of this but was interrupted when he felt something tap his shoulder. He turned around to see a giant demon made of ink with a horned hairdo and bow tie. It was grinning ear to ear and blew its hand to massive proportions as it reeled back.
"Oh crud," Nocturn groaned as the fist connected with his face.
Right hook, left jab, punch to the stomach. Everything after was giving the ghost a run for his money as the attacks leave inky marks, well the ones on his face were shown. Everything else blending with his spacey color.
Until Nocturne blasted the ink demon to stains on the ground.
"ENOUGH!" He yelled in a voice so loud, it sent the teens back.
"I AM THE MASTER OF DREAMS, AND I WILL NOT TAKE THIS ABUSE IN MY REALM!" Nocturn shouted as his hands glowed, and their surroundings darken.
The ghost of dreams then grew about twenty feet tall and was emitting a lot of power.
Danny and the others looked aghast now.
"Oh, man," Jake whined. The girls looked nervous.
"There's got to be something that can even the playing field. But what?" Danny thought as his head began to blow up. "And why does my head hurt?"
"Danny!" Phantasma and Spectra cried.
The ghost boy's head grew and grew until suddenly, something came out of his ear. Well, more like jumped out with guns and katanas.
"Hello, readers!" yelled an excited Deadpool. "Who's ready for me to finally butcher some bad guys and not worry about blood and guts?"
I'm sorry, what!?
"Yeah, I'm jacking this chapter. You know people like this."
All the while, Danny, Jake, and the ghouls looked flabbergasted.
"Uh, who is this guy?" the Am Drag asked, wondering if this is part of the dream or not.
Phantasma and Spectra glanced to another as they witnessed the red-suited man jump out of Danny's ear. That was a new level of freaky, even by monster standards. The ghost girls decided that after all this, they may want to stay awake for a while.
"The name is Deadpool, but you guys can call me DP or the awesome merc with a mouth!" DP introduced himself with a grand gesture of unicorns, rainbows, and chimichangas. "And I'm here to chop this guy up and help you guys."
"Uhh...thanks," Danny replied meekly. Jake did not say a word.
"Foolish mortal!" Nocturn cried out as he appeared from behind the merc and swiped at him.
Or he would've had the anti-hero not teleported with the device on his belt.
"What!?"
"Yeah, you're not the only one with that trick. Though with you, hard to say. I mean, it's dream bending here. Wait! What would that make you—"
The merc didn't finish as one of the dream ghost's fists connected. Flying off into a nearby wall, the nightmarish spirit panted at the antics.
"Perhaps that'll teach you to talk during a fight," Nocturne grinned.
His slasher smile dropped when a sword had pierced his stomach and sliced him in half from the abdomen up.
"Yeah...no. Nothing shuts me up. And you don't want to try," Deadpool retorted as he took out a shotgun and blasted an arm off. "Fans don't like that."
"What?" The split face of Nocturne was in disarray as he regenerated himself."What form of madness is this?"
"All kinds," the merc with a mouth suavely said as he pointed finger guns at the ghost.
The dream spirit, fueled by his anger, flew over in a mass of spectral space, ready to envelop his mouthy foe.
"Nice try, sucka!" Deadpool cried out as he fired off the fingers. Only confetti came out, to the merc's confusion. "Wait, that's not right. what happened?"
The ghost was at a reasonable distance and spread out.
"Silly me, these guys are for parties. Here are the right ones."
Within seconds, Deadpool fired off his middle fingers, which produced an explosion that knocked back Nocturn and did some severe damage.
"Sheesh, with all that screaming, you think he'd wake everyone up by now," the merc retorted as grabbed his katanas. "Oh well. It's cutting time!"
Jumping around, Deadpool sliced up the ghost of dreams. All while singing "La-lala-lala."
Danny, Jake, Phanty, and Spectra just stood there, unable to believe this.
"Just...just who is this guy?" Phanty asked.
"What is he?" Jake added.
"I TOLD YOU, I AM THE AWESOME MERC WITH A MOUTH!" DP shouted as he continued to attack Nocturn.
"Uh, shouldn't we do something?" Danny questioned.
"Don't worry. I'll be out of your hair in second," Deadpool answered. "Just let me cut a little off the top...of this guy's head!"
But the merc didn't get a chance as Nocturn reattached himself and summoned a door to the dream corridor. Opening the exit, the ghost of dreams grabbed the merc and shoved him in before dispelling the door.
"Hey! You can't make me exit stage right!" the merc said before disappearing.
With the guest gone, Nocturn turned menacingly to his enemies. He had enough trouble, and his eyes flowed with red energy as he stalked to the gang. However, he noticed none of them were alarmed or worried. In fact, Spectra was on her phone recording while Phantasma stared with sultry eyes at her ghost boy.
"What this supposed to be?" the dream spirit asked.
"You know," Danny quipped with one arm up. "I keep trying to think of some clever way to beat, but I then thought whatever works can do."
Pointing up to the sky, everyone was directed to the MASSIVE ball of energy. Nocturne was aghast while the rest grinned in approval.
"Neat, huh? I got it from a comic from Japan, or manga if you want to get technical. It's called a spirit ball, and it's just the right size for you."
Smirking, Danny then sent the spirit ball, and Nocturn was still wounded from Deadpool that he could not dodge in time.
"Oh, C-"
He was hit head-on, and the spirit ball took effect.
"AHHHH!" Nocturn shouted as the attack consume him.
As the dust settled, Danny and Jake looked around to see an enormous crater where their foe was supposed to be standing. Well, he was, but barely. His eyes glowed as he seethed steam.
"This is over!" Nocturn said. "I'll be back, and next time you won't have back up."
Soon, he was gone, most likely, his dream form could not maintain and had to go back to the physical world.
"That was awesome!" Jake exclaimed, flapping his wings and raising his fists.
"Thanks. I think I finally got a handle on the dream stuff," Danny said as he flew over to make sure Phantasma and Spectra weren't harmed too much. "You two al...right?"
The ghost boy noticed his final attack had packed a more massive punch than expected. The ghouls were fine, but the force had a knockback that made them feel as though they circumnavigated the world in eighty seconds.
"What a rush!" Phanty cackled as Spectra spun around with a wicked grin.
"Uh..." Danny blushed before he turned around. "I think I may have gone overboard with the dream stuff."
"It's ghoulright," the shy ghost girl slurred before finally becoming coherent again. "I mean, everything is fine."
"Yeah," Phanty nodded once she came too.
All that matters is that Noctur is gone and that they are safe now.
"Glad all this is over. Thanks, DP," Jake said with a fist out.
"No problem. Glad to help," Danny replied as he and the dragon bumped fists like a secret handshake.
"Next you're in New York, look me up. We can just chill if nothing is threatening the world."
"I just might do that, feel free to do the same if you are ever in Amity Park," Danny said to his new ally.
The two bumped fists as Jake disappeared through a door.
"Danny," Spectra said softly as she floated up to him, only for Phantasma to block her path.
"Forget it, crawlflower. Go find your own ghost boy!" The banshee said in a huff.
Usually, the shy ghost girl would retort with her own insult.
But this wasn't one of those times.
"Will you stop interrupting me!" The ghoul shouted, shocking Danny and Phanty. "This has nothing to do with my feelings for Danny! I need to talk to him about something important! Now moreover!"
Phanty, in a rare display of compliance with her rival, did so as the ghost girl huffed past her.
"Danny, listen. I need to talk to you," Spectra said before glancing over to the banshee. "In the real world. I'll text you the details when, but please meet me ASAP. There's something you need to see."
"Can't you tell me here?" the ghost boy asked as his girlfriend gave the ghoul a jealous glare.
"You'll need to see this, and I can't say in a realm that could have ears anywhere," the ghost girl Said with pleading eyes.
Thinking about it, she was right. Danny didn't know anything about the dream realm. And if it was that important, it would be better in person that just to hear about it.
"Okay, as soon as I return to the human world and get your message, I'll do what I can..."Danny said.
"Thanks," Spectra said as she began to leave. But before she left, the ghost girl saw the glaring banshee, who had been floating there with her arms crossed, gesturing her to shoo. The ghost girl had enough of her attitude and quickly rushed over to Danny, where she planted a kiss on the cheek.
"Goodbye, Danny," she said with a sultry tone before disappearing for the fuming banshee. Phanty never got a word in.
"WHY THAT LOUSY HAUNTING HUSSY! YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" Phanty yelled.
The ghost boy decided to calm her down before things could escalate.
"Phanty, Spectra is just a friend to me..."Danny said.
"A 'friend,' who clearly has the hots for you," Phanty said, sounding very jealous.
"I never asked her to do that; besides, you are my perfect match, and you know it."
Phanty cracked a little smile at that but still pouted.
"Doesn't mean I'm going to stand still and let another ghoul kiss my manster."
Danny heard this and found a solution.
"How about I make it up to you with a dream date?" Danny asked. "Jake told me they're the bomb."
"Well...I've always wanted to see Paris," Phanty said with a mischievous smirk.
"Then follow me, mon ami," the boy said as he guided his cackling girlfriend through a made-up door to France.
"As Sibella would say, Fangtastic!"
Those were the last words as Danny closed the door as the couple enjoyed the Eiffel Tower and French Cuisine.
Another chapter with Danny and Phantasma. Only this time, Spectra joined again with help from the American Dragon. I have a feeling this won't be the last time he appears.
And I got to butcher a ghost! Sweet! Next time, let's up the ante!
Maybe. But for now, everyone enjoy your day.
Special Thanks! to Flower Princess11 for all her help!
Reviews:
Starlord Masters: Pretty much, but not always.
61394: Definitely. Vlad does not like sudden problems.
danifan3000: interesting theory, but without someone proving anything to Mr. and Mrs. Fenton, they'll probably keep arguing. Or at least until they realize how futile it is. not to mention harmful.
Luiz4200: True, but I don't think a man like Jack could resist such a feast.
Jebest4781: Yep!
Major Simi: Thanks!
williamescobar608: Si.
Jay the Average Fanboy: New clothing? I'll see. As for the show, it helps with costs, so it is common for characters to wear the same outfits. Thanks!
Mazamba: Good question. We shall see in later chapters.
Artorias(Guest): I didn't hear about the power of Vlad. Thanks for the heads up.
The Brod Road: We shall see.
nightmaster000: Thanks!
