Yay, a new chapter! You know, someone actually made a good point about ghosts that I didn't actually know before. Apparently all ghosts can naturally use telekinesis, which was something I wanted Andy to use and hence why I suggested psychic powers, but I guess I don't really need to anymore since ghosts can use it naturally, so disregard what I said about the psychic powers. I think Andy's fine just the way he is now anyways. ^^' So now I'll answer back the reviewers.
Psychochiken: Technically the future visions are not because of psychic powers, it's a side effect from the temporal powers Andy used during the movie in the first book. Well the Ghostly Wail was never intended for Andy to learn so no worries there, problem is I don't know what kind of 'ace in a hole' power he should learn to compliment Danny's Ghostly Wail.
Blue: Andy appreciates your comfort! I haven't seen Life is Strange so... You make a good point, but again I've decided not to go for the psychic powers, but that's a good suggestion.
Rune: It was you who told me that the ghosts can learn telekinesis and that's honestly what I wanted Andy to have the most, so thank you for telling me this information. I just never seen Danny use it so I assumed he couldn't. ^^' And if he had... I might've misinterpret for something else.
Andy's time visions doesn't have anything to do with the timeline where he doesn't exist. It will become apparent soon that these visions exist in his future, he's just not in it because he's seeing it in his own point of view, you can't see yourself.
Danny does remember, but he's trying to forget about it and pretend it never happened. Plus Danny IS happy that his brother is finally a halfa like himself, and you're right, half the reason Danny wants to train Andy is so he'd have someone of equal strength to take him on in case something happens to him again (which considering The Ultimate Enemy it does).
Well in Reign Storm Vlad did say Danny's more like him than he realized. Even in another fanfiction called Checkmate it's been stated multiple times Danny is very similar to Vlad himself, so I'm not surprised. Danny doesn't realize how traumatized Andy is and Andy doesn't want to trouble his brother over something like this, so yeah, that's gonna be a problem in the future *hint hint*.
Yup, Andy's been through a lot, but don't worry the kid can't ignore his powers for long. And thank you!
ZAFT Prime: Eh, again I decided not to give him psychic powers. ^^' I'm glad I could inspire you, and a Digimon and Danny Phantom crossover sounds pretty promising since I'm fans of both franchises. :D
tkb0: Andy and Valerie the best duo? Wow, a lot of people seem to think so. And yeah, it really is a shame that she's not used as much as she should've been in the show. I'm happy to know I did a good job with Dash and Paulina :D. Sam does get off too easy a lot, but she'll get what's coming to her when it's necessary. And yeah, I hate it when parents play favorites with their kids, good thing I'm an only child. ^^'
PrincessDragon96: Oh yes they do~ Andy- despite what he's been through- is still a teenager, so of course he'd find these powers pretty awesome even if he's trying to deny it. And yeah, the fear of Corrupted Danny keeps him from really wanting to use it.
Well they're not going to have the same powers, they just have the same basic ghost powers all ghosts normally have, like flight and intangibility, it'd be weird that he wouldn't have those. And Andy's only just started, give him some time to discover his powers before you judge what he's going to get. ^^' And again, I never planned to have Andy learn the Ghostly Wail.
Yeah, this is why I like doing first person povs a lot, it lets me get into the character's mind and not have to keep switching between what other characters are doing.
OMNISENSE95: Yup, Andy so would ;3. I don't watch Persona 3 so I wouldn't know, but I guess that won't be an issue. ^^'
LunagaleMaster: Haha! Yeah, Andy does need to take a chill pill, he's just looking a bit too much in the negative. And again the visions have nothing to do with being psychic, it's just a side effect from from the temporal powers he used from the first book. And well, actually the future isn't a set path- he just started recognizing these 'daydreams' as visions and he can't do much with them yet, but it IS possible for him to change it. That will be clear in the next chapter hopefully.
Andy going insane again, huh? I guess you could see it that way. ^^' And yeah, Danny better notice something's wrong with his brother before something happens again. As for Valerie finding out, sadly that won't be for a while, and we're talking after D-Stabilize which is the last episode before Phantom Planet.
I think just about everyone is hyped up for The Ultimate Enemy. Reign Storm is actually going to have a lot of differences from its original canon counterpart believe it or not, but I guess you'll have to wait and see.
Thank you for noticing the Jazz part, I had to think about why she was only a head in the show and came up with the theory they destabliized her body when they took a bit of her brains.
And I hope you enjoy it with that song!
Dark Stormchaser: The visions aren't only about Danny, but let's just say Danny will play an important part of those visions some time down the road. I'm not really sure what you meant by Danny being aware of Andy exactly. And yeah, Paulina's often portrayed as an evil brat in most other fanfictions, but I wanted to show she's not evil, just really spoiled, there is a difference. And yeah, Dora's relationship with Clockwork is going to be told by then, or heck maybe she'll even tell it during Reign Storm since she was there. And yeah, I guess I do like foreshadowing when I can. At least I'm not the only one who finds Sam annoying in the show. ^^'
Well Pariah Dark only saw them for a second before Clockwork brought Andy back in time to fix it, so I'm not really sure if it would make much of a difference if he remembered the alternate timeline or not. But I guess we'll see.
Thank you for noticing the explanation I gave for Jazz. I did thought it was strange that her body broke down so I came up with a theory as to why and incorporated it into the story. And yes, the whole hospital thing was really creepy and a nice set up for a horror film. I'm not trying to draw out the episode, but yeah I am trying to show Andy's thoughts and inner struggles on the matter since a lot of it reminded him of the Corrupted Era. And here's the chapter where Spectra and Bertrand find out about Andy's halfa status so have fun with that.
Yeah I always thought Tucker was a bit... too stupid and careless sometimes. I mean he took a digital photo of Danny in diapers when Spectra made him wear it and shoves it in his face, I mean what kind of best friend does that!? And all Sam says is 'he's just kidding'. Right, well let's see how she would take it if he took photos of her in a diaper and shoves it in HER face! I personally didn't like Tucker that much either, especially when the episode stars him. What You Want was okay, but I really didn't care for King Tuck as it just shows him getting power hungry again and the people around him were just so painfully ignorant. I may end up changing that episode completely when I get to it, because it's really one of my least favorite DP episodes. And I personally don't think Tucker's resentment were taken with Tucker Phantom because it shows he still does hold some resentment in the show, or at least jealousy, heck I'm surprised Sam didn't have any jealousy towards Danny, because she's little miss 'perfect'. Anyways, thank you for enjoying the chapter!
Dracoya: I made a small comic once with Paint, but the drawing is really bad so... yeah I know how that feels. Well there are a few people I know who drew me a couple of cover images for my stories, but one of them is on a two year missionary trip. The other would be muney73, though I don't know if they make comics.
I didn't say TUE isn't supposed to be dark, heck I love how dark it is in the show and they really jumped the shark and succeeded with it as it's my favorite of the DP specials. But I do not plan to have Andy paralyzed and Danny turning into some mad scientist, or have Andy disappear and introduce a new OC named Kyle who falls in love with Valerie out of nowhere. Like I said I have my own plans for it and it will be dark, so don't worry about that.
Didn't you know you could see the reviews by clicking on 'reviews' beside the the story title and my pen name? It's not that hard to see, the words are in orange so just click on it and you'll see the reviews there.
Uh... okay...? Nice chibi Toy Bonnie Corrupted Danny you have going on in that mind of yours. And don't worry, I didn't really want to guess your age anyways. ^^'
Guest: Clairvoyance huh? Funny you mentioned that since... it's kinda something I was planning down the road. ^^'
firestar91: I thank you that you enjoy this story, however there IS a reason why I only update once a week. I know you want to see more quickly, but I still need TIME to write the chapters in the first place. I can't update any quicker, because if I do I will eventually run out of chapters and you'll have to start waiting by months before I can update a new one. I'd say just be more patient, as waiting a week is better than waiting a month. As for the future visions, they happen by random for now, but let's just say Andy will have better control over them once he and Danny gets in better sync with each other.
muney73: Wow, you really are excited about Andy using his powers... think you'll like this chapter then. Survive the Night was pretty good for this setting. Well Andy will have ghost ray, he did kinda use it before even though he's not sure how yet. And I haven't figured out what Andy's powers are going to be yet, so there's still room to be creative.
Anyways, that's all the reviews I felt like I had to answer back to. I hope I managed to answer your questions. Now I hope you enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 9: Mutual Term
I looked at the room Danny was in earlier… I was right, it was where they kept Jazz's head. She looked troubled about something, but before I could go in and ask what was wrong, she said, "Go Andy, Danny needs you."
"What?" She must've saw me before I came in.
"He said he was looking for you before he heard that scream, go to him bro." Jazz said.
"But what can I do? I didn't even bring the Fenton Rod, all I have is the Ray Gun…" I said with a frown when I saw my bare wrist. "Well HAD… it doesn't work anymore."
"The Ray what now?" She quirked up an eyebrow.
"You know, the wrist rays I had Mom and Dad make a while back?" I said, hoping she'd know what I was talking about.
"Oh yeah, doesn't Dad call them the Fenton Wrist Rays?" She said and I blinked.
You know, in retrospect, calling them Wrist Rays kinda makes it obvious what they are rather than Ray Guns. "Well you know I'm not so good at naming stuff."
"Look, it doesn't matter if you have it or not, Danny seemed to believe in you and so do I, you have more experience fighting ghosts as a human, with or without weapons. I'm pretty much useless here so maybe you can find a cure together." Jazz said.
I sighed… but it may be true, working together had always made us much stronger than working individually, we managed to take out Vlad together even if it was because we had to outsmart and hinder him before. "Alright, I'll go find him, and then we'll be back and cure you soon."
"That's what I like to hear." Jazz's head smiled at me and I returned it before hurrying after my brother, or where I last saw him flying to.
I still don't know where Valerie is, but I'm hoping she'll be fine… I'm sure she can take care of herself, and the sooner I find Danny the sooner we can beat Spectra and Bertrand. But what about that vision I had of Danny? When is that going to happen? I still don't know where these visions come from, the only times I've had them before were in dreams and even then they were a rarity, now I'm starting to see stuff just by looking at them. I know they're not a part of my ghost powers, because I had a vision before I got into that second accident. I'll have to figure these visions out later because right now I have to find Danny.
I ran through the hall to catch up to Danny, there's no way I'd be able to catch up to him if I tried flying since I can barely lift off the ground. But as I ran, Dash suddenly popped up in front of me! Both of us screamed as I crashed right into him! … Ow…
"O-oh Andy! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" Dash quickly said in concern as he helped me up. Well at least that answers my question if he still remembers me as his friend or not.
"I'm fine Dash, you just caught me by surprise." I said, getting a good look at him. His skin was pale green like everyone else in here, but at least he wasn't that mutated monster I had to fight back in the bathroom.
"Y-yeah, sorry about that… this… weird ghost illness keeps making me go up and down, and I have no control over it. I mean I was watching my favorite soaps when these stupid laser eyes blasted the screen! … For the record, this would be totally cool if it were actually powers instead of a disease I can't control." Dash sighed.
Wait… a disease he can't control… In the vision Spectra said these were ghost viruses, and eventually they'll burn everyone out. Nobody could control these so-called powers, because they're diseases… I remember saying that about my own powers too, talk about deja vu. "Well you just stay here, and I'll find a way to cure you okay? If you see Valerie, let her know I'm okay."
"Valere's here too?" Dash said in surprise. "But you don't look sick, so why are you here?"
"I had to pretend I was to get in, but don't worry I'll find a way to cure you and get you out of here." I said. "Until then, just… try not to float away."
"Right, okay, just hurry... I don't like having a ghost disease, it's weird and I'm pretty sure it feels familiar in a way I don't like." Dash said, frowning to himself.
Yeah, he may not remember it, but there was a time he was turned into a ghost aside from that Corrupted Era. "I'll do my best." I said with a smile, glad to see he was my friend again.
But before I could move, Bertrand- as Dr. Bert again- was moving a stretcher down the hall. I quickly hid behind Dash as he was rushing through. "Out of the way, emergency patient coming through!"
I got a quick glimpse of the person on the stretcher. I gave a gasp, that was Danny! He's asleep on the stretcher, where is Bertrand taking him- oh, he's taking him to where that machine was. Great, my vision is about to come true.
"That looked like your brother." Dash said, sounding surprise.
"I better go follow them." I said. "I'll be back later." I ran to where Bertrand was running to.
"Be careful!" I heard Dash called and smiled a little.
If my vision was correct, Bertrand should be taking Danny to that room with the machine, at least I know where they're going… the only problem is… trying to get him out. He called for Tucker in the vision, but I don't know if he'll actually try to get in with this being a hospital and all. Still, whether or not Tucker would come in I have to find a way to stop Spectra from getting his genes, but how? HOW!? I'm no match for them as an inexperienced ghost, and without my Fenton Rod I can't do much either! I slowed to a stop… really… what can I do to help him? I could get Valerie for her help, but she was just as defenseless as I was without her ghost gear.
"LET ME GO! HELP! TUCKER!" I gasped at hearing my brother's urgent call. My hands curled into fists… I can't keep thinking about this! I have to save my brother.
I ran forward, getting to the room with the machine. I had a hard time controlling my emotions knowing my brother was in danger, because my foot kept going intangible and I ended up falling on my face! I shook it off quickly and kept running to the room. I stopped myself from opening it… I don't think I'll be able to save Danny like this. I have no experience as a ghost, and no weapons to fight as a human, what would I be able to do?
I put my ears against the doors, trying to listen in. "-How helpful are you?"
My eyes widen, that was the last thing Spectra said in my vision before she pushed Danny into the machine! I don't know if it'll hurt him or not, but I wanted to make sure Danny's okay. I took a deep breath and willed intangibility and invisibility, it wasn't so bad to use once you know how, but it still felt weird going through solid walls and doors like this. I looked down at my hands, making sure I couldn't be seen, hoping ghosts couldn't see other invisible ghosts.
I dared to get closer. I didn't see Bertrand anywhere so I guess he left. Spectra just pushed my brother into the machine, it was brightly green in there. Spectra didn't seem to react to me, but when I got in close, Danny's ghost sense came out of his mouth… huh, guess he can sense other halfas too, or maybe he can only do that if I'm using a ghost power, either way I don't think Spectra really noticed or cared, probably because of the massive amounts of teens that were turning into ghosts around here.
I wanted to help Danny, but there was nothing I could do without ending in a bad way, all I could do was watch. I'll try to save him if something bad happens, but all I can see is a vacuum hose coming over him. I think he was mumbling about something, but I couldn't hear him, and the green lights turned red as the vacuum hose began sucking, probably to get a piece of his hair or something. Nothing too threatening, but that means she'll get what she wants. I slowly tiptoed around her, hoping she won't see or hear me as long as I kept my invisibility up. I wanted to get a closer look and see if Danny's going to be okay. What I saw was Danny picking up a familiar looking handkerchief from his pocket and let the vacuum suck it up. Oooh, that is really clever Danny, you go bro!
I heard a DING and Spectra smirking evilly, "Excellent."
"Excell-" Danny was almost repeating her when she pulled him out, then he quickly glared, "I-I mean, you FIEND!" Ugh… smooth bro.
Spectra paid him no mind as she took that human skin out, it's even creepier in person, and she immediately flew into it. The skin soon came to life as its eyes glowed a bright neon green… which is kinda odd since Spectra's eyes are red. She gave an over exaggerated evil laugh before flying out of the room, leaving Danny, and myself, alone.
Danny sighed in relief, beginning to tug at his bonds. "Great- she took the bait! Now if I… could just… c'mon!" He grumbled to himself, continuing to try and break free. "Jeez- how tough did Bertrand make these things anyway?"
I walked over to Danny and looked at those glowing restraints- those look like they were ghost proof... I'm not sure if I could get him out of it without a key or something. I looked at my brother, should I reveal myself? I guess I should, there's no real reason to hide myself other than pride… I DID make that deal with him I could get in without using ghost powers after all…
I willed myself to turn visible, and I knew I did when I heard my brother gasping in surprise. "W-what the- Andy? How the heck did you…" He trailed off, and gave me a smug grin. "...Well, look at who's using his ghost powers."
I crossed my arms and gave him an annoyed glare. "It's not like I had much of a choice. I got caught and locked in a janitor's closet to be used as possible bait for you."
Danny chuckled, rolling his eyes in amusement. "Sure, bro- whatever you say. So, mind helping me out of these things? They're a lot tighter than they look!" He strained at the neon green bindings to prove his point.
"How? I don't have a key or any weapons on me." I said with a frown. "I only knew you'd be here because I saw… never mind- I don't know how I'm going to get you out."
Danny rolled his eyes again, this time in exasperation. "Uh, hello? Ghost powers, remember? You can just hit these things with a Ghost Ray and get me free!"
"Danny… I have no idea how to use that." I said with a frown of my own. It was true I used it when I was defending myself against mutated Dash, but I can't really remember how I did that and it was in the heat of the moment.
Suddenly I heard a loud clash behind me and made me jump, and I spun around to see it was the lid of a… ventilation shaft? Then Tucker himself jumped down with his eyes closed and had a daydreaming smile on his face. "Hellooooooo models!" he said, pushing his chest out. ...What the heck has he been thinking about?
"...Tucker, what the heck? You broke into the hospital?" Danny blinked, clearly just as confused as me, before he did a double-take. "Wait, you broke into a hospital?"
"Please stop saying hospital! It's not like I WANTED to come here!" Tucker snapped at him before looking at me. "Andy! Hey man, I didn't even know you got in here!"
I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at him. "I could say the same for you. Did you bring something to get Danny out of those restraints?"
"Yeah, of course! In fact…" Tucker then pulled out something from a belt around his waist and fired a blast of green energy at Danny, hitting both restraints before blowing out the smoke confidently. "Heh- Plasma Peach. Looks great for kissing."
Danny rolled his eyes in amusement, jumping into the air and transforming into his ghost form. "Yeah, yeah- kissing this place goodbye, I get it Tucker."
"Hey! Don't take my line!" Tucker pouted before Danny picked him up.
"Where are you going?" I asked Danny, blinking in confusion. "You're going to take on Spectra now?" Maybe that'll give me time to find Valerie and-
"Nah, first WE'RE going to take on Bertrand." Danny said, grabbing my arm while awkwardly holding Tucker. "We don't want him getting in the way of our fight with Spectra, right?"
"But I didn't bring my Fenton Rod with me, and the Wrist Ray doesn't work anymore! What am I going to do?" I quickly argued as he flew us through a wall.
"Hello, dude! You're a half ghost superhero like your brother!" Tucker said as he smacked me upside the head. "You don't need those weapons- you can just use your fists and powers!"
"Tucker, I barely know how NOT to use them while in human form." I hissed at him. "What makes you think I can fight like this?"
"I don't know, shouldn't it be natural?" Tucker asked in confusion, and I sighed shaking my head.
Before I could answer, Danny landed in a room, he was looking around before we spotted Dash and Bertrand watching some lady yelling… or… I guess singing, on TV.
Dash sighed, smiling to himself as he put his head into his hands. "Oh, man- when she sings Wind Beneath My Wings… I just go to pieces, you know?"
Hey, what's Dash doing with this guy? Oh right, I guess he doesn't know what Bertrand looks like outside of his creepy doctor disguise he used earlier. Danny put me and Tucker down and said, "You better change, bro."
"What?" I looked at him, glaring in defiance. "I'm not changing!"
"C'mon, you know this new Spectra isn't going to be an easy fight!" Danny protested, crossing his arms. "I'm gonna need some back-up, somebody who can fight with me even if we go through different rooms and stuff."
"I'm sure you can handle her I've seen you handle stronger ghosts before." I said stubbornly- no way was I going to use that ghost form again, last time it was purely self defense.
"Come on man! Why do you have to be so stubborn?" Tucker pouted. "I would take this in a heartbeat!"
"Of course you would, but I won't." I snapped, crossing my arms. "Nothing you say will get me to change again."
"Aww, c'mon- you want me to face this alone now?" Danny pouted, giving me huge puppy dog eyes. "What if I can't handle her and Bertrand alone?"
I looked at him… he… can't handle them alone? But I'm sure he could! I've seen him take them on before… right?
Danny was beaten, they set a trap for him, the ghosts ganged up on him. He could hardly stand, we had to limp him home. Jazz had to bandaged him up… I could've lost him… I could've lost my brother many times, all because I was too powerless to help him.
"I wish…"
"You okay dude? You're looking pale." Tucker suddenly said, snapping me back to reality.
"Huh? O-oh I'm fine… I'm fine…" I said, looking at Danny again, and he looked at me in concern too. "I… I just… I'm not sure how much of a help I can be right now…"
"...Can you at least try?" Danny asked, still looking at me with a slight pout. "I want to be able to work with my twin brother again…"
"Yes Andy, why don't you join me? I miss you bro, let's rule them together!" Corrupted Danny said with an evil smirk.
No! No, no, no! I won't let that nightmare take me over again. This isn't Corrupted Danny anymore, this is Danny, my brother and a good heart ghost hero- I can… I can trust him. I finally gave a sigh of defeat. "Fine, but don't expect me to know what I'm doing. I'm still slow on the transformation."
Danny grinned excitedly, hugging me. "Oh, thank you Andy! You won't regret it I promise!" Then he let go of me and flew higher into the air, looking at Bertrand with a determined frown. "What's up, doc?"
"You!?" The shapeshifting ghost glared at him, clearly surprised that Danny was free.
While Danny was distracting him I took this time to try and concentrate, let's see if I remember how to transform. I felt that cold spot deep within me and pulled on it- I'm just glad it's not so hard to pull out the power, but the flash of light may cause unwanted attention. Speaking of which, the bright ring of light appeared on my torso and traveled horizontally around my body, coating my shirt and pants with that navy blue and white hazmat suit with the AP logo on my chest.
I heard Tucker jumping back- as if surprised- after finishing my transformation, and he cried out, "Whoa- talk about a new look. It looks good on you, though, don't get me wrong!"
"Tucker, you've seen me like this before." I said to him, almost flinching at the echo in my voice forgetting that bit… ugh, I'm not sure if I ever want to get used to this.
"Yeah, but still, it's really cool to see YOU as a halfa too…" Tucker sweatdropped, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "A-anyways, go ahead and get to the fight!"
I sighed, glancing back at where my brother was fighting- what the heck is that thing!? That can NOT be Bertrand! It looked like some giant killer mad scientist hulk doctor thing, with a brain sticking out of his head! … Has Bertrand been watching horror films lately? In the background I noticed Dash running off since he couldn't fight the guy, not that I blamed him- he's never been one who liked fighting ghosts.
Now what do I do? Should I fly? Should I charge in and punch him? Should I, somehow, shoot Ghost Rays from my hands again? Okay, calm down Andy, just go with the flow… or rather with your brother, you should be fine. I've done this before so I can do it again. Wait… How do I fly again?
"Andy! He's coming your way!" I suddenly heard Danny shout.
I yelped as I tried to trip or punch him, anything really- but he just knocked me aside to the floor and he pinned Tucker to the ground. I groaned, it surprisingly didn't hurt as much as I thought it would, but…
"Okay, this is going to hurt you a lot more than it'll hurt me." He said as he turned that scalpel he was holding into a big needle, probably the worst thing for Tucker.
"How about neither of us gets hurt, why isn't THAT an option?" Tucker squeaked in fear.
I glared- not only did he pushed me aside he's going to torture Tucker both mentally and physically, and I know all too well what that's like. "TUCKER!" Without thinking about it, I flung myself at Bertrand and tackled him into the wall. I was actually surprised that I was able to pounce him so far like that since he was so much bigger than me.
Danny grinned, flying over. "Nice job, bro! Now quick, roll out of the way!"
"Wait, there are TWO of you!?" Bertrand shouted in confusion and frustration, turning back into his normal form before I turned to him.
"Guess you'll have to learn how to deal with two Phantoms instead of one." I said with a bit of a smirk before rolling away from him.
"Not to mention, your bedside manner stinks." Danny added, smirking as he pulled out the Fenton Thermos. "I think it's time for you to go back to nursing school!" He quickly sucked up the shapeshifting ghost with that line before Bertrand could retort and grinned at me. "Nice job, bro!"
"Why compliment me? All I did was tackle the guy." I said with a shrug. "You probably could've easily done the same with your Ghost Ray."
"Yeah, but you also distracted him from moving!" Danny smiled, giving me a thumbs-up. "Nice work!"
I wasn't sure what to say- I still didn't want to fight as a ghost, but it was nice hearing the compliment from my brother. But before I even could say anything else, a familiar voice spoke up from behind Danny, and I could already see her floating there.
"Nice job, Danny." Of course, Spectra had to be here, but I guess she didn't see me because Danny was standing directly between me and her. "But you're a bit late I'm afraid." She was grinning with her fanged teeth, both hands on her hips as Danny turned to look at her.
Behind both Danny and myself, Tucker commented happily, "I am in a modeling agency!"
"More like a nightmare modeling agency." I hissed.
"It's amazing right?" Spectra said, having heard that comment. "Smart, beautiful, deadly!"
I gave a gasp before quickly moving out of the way and Danny flew the other direction before she could fire her own Ghost Ray at us. That's when she noticed me, and she blinked in confusion. "...Wait… there's now two of you? Since when have you been able to clone yourself?"
"Hey! I'm not a- … you know what? Yes, yes I am a clone." I said with an annoyed glare.
"Dude, your eyes are glowing." Tucker said to me.
I ignored him- Spectra of course knew me and Danny are both twins, but she also knew I was 100% human or at least at the time. Guess even she isn't smart enough to put two and two together.
Danny blinked before glaring at Spectra in irritation. "Hey! I still haven't figured out how to do that! You know- the one you just called a 'clone' is my brother!"
"... ANDREW!?" Spectra looked at me as if I just melted or something. "How? Where? W-what!?"
I raised an eyebrow to her, crossing my arms. "Accident, in the lab, and I think you know what. Also, bro, you can still use that illusion clone you've learned, remember?"
"Well, yeah, but they aren't actual clones…" Danny muttered to me, grumbling under his breath before Spectra recovered and… created hands with purple ectoplasm? "W-what the!?"
Spectra hissed at us, "Two or two thousand I'm not going to let you boys ruin my plans!" She shot those purple ectoplasm at us.
I rolled out of the way and Danny moved in the air. My own battle instincts are kicking in from my days as a human thankfully, but fighting like a human isn't going to get me anywhere like this. Since I don't know how to use Ghost Rays I'll have to get in close, and that's pretty dangerous…
Danny shot some Ghost Rays of his own at her, and she either dodged or deflected them. I had to help somehow! Hmm… I put my hands on the floor- I've seen Danny do this before with Tucker, maybe I could try it too… I focused on the floor, how did it go again? To turn something you're touching intangible, you've got to spread your powers through them, I think that's what Danny said. I felt that cold and hot feeling through my body, and that tingly feeling when I usually turn intangible.
As soon as Spectra landed on the floor I quickly spread this feeling as far as I could while touching the floor, barely flickering it to intangibility. I heard Spectra yelping- good, that means I've succeeded. I had my eyes shut and I was sweating from the effort. When I opened my eyes I saw Spectra's leg was caught in the now solid floor.
"W-what in the worl- ACK!" While trying to get her leg out of the floor, Danny quickly took this chance to fire a Ghost Ray at her. It didn't seem to do much damage, and she quickly turned her leg intangible to let it out of the floor before he could do more.
"You two are more troublesome than you're worth!" Spectra snapped, before she smirked evilly. "But no matter, I'll still take you both down."
Without warning, she fired that purple ecto ray at Danny's face, and he fell to the floor. He groaned, trying to get up, but Spectra pinned his chest with her foot. I glared at this, clenching my fist. "Let him go!"
"Hmm, how about no?" she asked mockingly, smirking at me before her eyes began glowing neon green again. "Ah, there we go. Your DNA is finally kicking in, Danny- so I should be all powerful in three… two… one…!" Her body flashed brightly, so much so I had to shut my eyes for a second.
When I opened my eyes… well… let's just say I was staring at her, and not in a good way. Her body… suddenly… became very large, and familiar. Her face got that square shape, a shape I kinda figured was unique to Dad. "What the?"
"What happened!?" Spectra shrieked, clutching at her face. "Why do I suddenly feel like blathering on about ghosts? …And why do I feel like eating fudge? Lots and lots of fudge!?"
Are my eyes and ears deceiving me or does she sound and look almost exactly like Dad right now? Oh yeah, she got off my brother after the shock, and Danny stood up, shrugging mockingly. "Well, you wanted Fenton DNA! Unfortunately, you got it- courtesy of our dad's nose." He smirked, crossing his arms.
Wait… so that handkerchief he gave that vacuum earlier… was the same one Dad blew his nose into!? As if on cue, her body flashed again for a split second, and now we're left with a giant snot monster. She let out a terrifying screech!
I felt some bile coming up my throat… While I like biology, seeing a giant living snot monster right in front of me just makes me sick… really, really sick… In fact… I had to hold my mouth and run to the nearest trash can! I think I heard Danny yelling to me in concern, but I ignored him to find a trash can for the contents of my stomach.
I thankfully found one nearby a door… I didn't even know ghosts could puke! While I began spitting out my breakfast and lunch I vaguely heard a nearby door being banged on… Guess someone's trying to get out. Still, right now I have to puke first, then worry about that person! Ugh… great, my own weak stomach because of seeing so much snot may just be my own undoing… My stomach hurts, but I finally stopped barfing for now…
As I was wiping my mouth clean, the door suddenly broke down and someone came tumbling out right in front of me. My eyes widened in horror when I saw who it was looking at me in shock; Valerie.
Oooh, I'm so evil, ending it off in a cliffhanger! Yup, Valerie has finally seen Andy Phantom! How is she going to react? Guess you'll have to wait until next Friday! :P Andy is still figuring out his powers, so it'll be a while before we can see what difference his powers will be from his brother's, for now he's just trying to learn the basics, so it's too soon to judge what he'll have right now. No psychic powers sadly, but expect possible telekinesis in the future. Danny's pretty happy that Andy's finally using his ghost powers to help him fight, but let's see how long that lasts. And yes, poor Andy has a weak stomach when it comes to gross things like Snot Spectra. XD Anyways, like always, please leave a comment on what you think of the chapter. I am DarkFoxKit and I look forward to hearing from you.
