Jan. 9 2020: I fixed the formatting finally. Yay. Otherwise, edits for quality. Think of the original Star Wars where they put more CGI aliens in Mos Eisley. No story changed.
Disclaimer: Danny Phantom isn't on TV anymore. Wanna know why? I don't own it, that's why!
Chapter 3: Activated
"What happened to me?" Heather was looking in the pocket mirror she took out of her backpack. "I can't go home like this! My parents will freak!" She ran her fingers through her now white hair. Her eyes glowed the same bright green as the portal. She even seemed to see a light glow outlining her. She tried to stand up, but when she put her hand down to push herself up, it fell through the floor. She fell flat on her face.
Alex sighed. "I thought we had a big enough problem already," He said. He took her hands. "Whatever's happened to you is not good. How will you tell this to your parents?"
"I won't," Heather weakly replied. She stood up, but then lost consciousness and collapsed. Alex caught her, and a white ring appeared around her and split in two, spanning her body and changing her appearance to before she touched the portal.
"Heather?" Alex said. "Heather, wake up!" When Heather didn't wake up, Alex set her down and took out his water bottle. He opened it up and took a piece of ice out and put it down her shirt. She woke up and yelped, trying to get the ice out of her shirt.
Alex helped her get up after she got out the ice. "Are you sure you're gonna be ok after that?" He asked her.
"Yeah, I think so. I should probably take it slow. We need to find out what this is. Let's use the computers at the library after school. If there's no information on the internet, we'd at least be there for any books they have."
Alex nodded in agreement. "Good plan. I'll meet you out front after school."
The final three classes in the day finished. Besides the few pencils phasing through Heather's hand and some strange looks from other students when she somehow fell out of her chair, it was a basically normal school day. Alex and Heather went to the city library after school.
First, they checked the internet. Searching "Strange Green Lightning Wall" only brought up halloween decorations, but "Strange Green Portal Thing" brought up a few sites.
"Ghost portals?" Heather whispered. "There's no way..." she trailed off at the info. She read about ghosts. Real ghosts. If she didn't see the portal herself, she wouldn't believe it. Ghosts were real.
While Heather browsed the web, Alex looked for the best failsafe: books. Eventually, he found a brand-new book about the history of the Amity Park supernatural occurrences. It was thick, heavy, and just the book they needed.
Alex took the book to a table and called Heather over. "This might just hold the answer," he whispered. "This book is new in production. Let's look through the past for strange occurrences like this."
They looked through the book until they found something interesting.
Heather read the page. It was a summary of Amity Park's ghost attacks. "Wow, this is crazy," she whispered, "in 2004 ghosts were proven to be real, and there was a young ghost that protected the city. Look at the picture. His hair is like mine was after I touched that portal. I think... I'm a ghost."
Alex sighed. "Now that could be a problem. Anyways, that is the kid from the history books. You know, the kid who saved the world from an asteroid by... oh."
"What?"
"He saved the earth by... turning it intangible. Making it impossible to be touched. Just like when your pencils go straight through your hands."
Heather stood up. "Alex, I have an idea." She pulled him out of his chair and they went to the science section, without turning the page to see the story of the asteroid attack and the real identity of the ghost kid.
Earlier that day...
The small ghost, who was the leader ghost and the largest of the crew, and the ghosts under his command got to the location of the strange fluctuations. The crew activated their hazmat suits. There were human objects floating around what appeared to be a real portal into the human world.
The leader advanced. "Now this is strange. I've never seen one of those for twenty-two years. Stay here."
"Commander! No!"
The leader ghost went through the portal. He went invisible and saw a human girl open a door. A visible breath left the human's mouth as he flew near. He saw something like that before, a long, long time ago. The girl got closer and closer to the portal, and then... ZAP!
