On an island some where in the Atlantic, smoke and lava poured from the cracks that marred the once smooth sand of this beautiful and tranquil place. There are many figures on this island but only two are standing. One is a man and one is a boy. "My name is Danny Phantom, and until last week, I was just another face in the crowd of metahumans and superheroes in this world. That has all changed now, and I pray to God that I will live through this."
One Week Earlier
It was another typical day at school, three ghosts and a cat stuck up a tree, Danny and Tucker were walking to lunch obviously arguing about something.
"Danny, I am telling you, you need to loosen up and get me into that press conference so that I can see her." Tucker was in rare form today when it came to being annoying. Lois Lane was in town, and, obviously, he had a crush on her. Danny knew it couldn't be good. When Tuck got like this he was relentless and often tiresome. The begging wouldn't bother Danny so much if he didn't couple it with the whining and bribing.
"Tucker, I am not your bus boy. I am not sneaking into a press conference, on ghosts no less, so you can drool over a reporter."
" She isn't just a reporter; she is one of the most talented women in the world, not to mention pretty cute." Just then Danny was saved by Dash. Actually it kinda was more like Dash appeared and Danny disappeared leaving Tuck to talk to the wall (which he did and that kinda scares me).
After School, at Fenton Works
Jack was excited. They had asked him to give a press conference on the increased and increasing supernatural events in their town. There would be people form the whole nation there. His wife was busy typing up his speech and his daughter was hiding upstairs, so, when his son entered the room, Jack pounced.
"Hey! Danny, you get to come with me to the press conference tonight." Danny, who had been posed to run, came to a complete stop.
"BUT! I don't want to go; take Jazz. She would understand what you are talking about."
"Nonsense, your coming and so is your sister. We are having a Fenton Family press conference. Now go put on your lab suit; we leave in less than an hour." Jack bounced off leaving Danny to try to find a place to hide so he didn't have to explain to his father what happened to his jumpsuit. An hour later he had no luck, his father and mother had found him anyplace he had tried to hide and they had shoved him in a spare lab suit and then into the car, I mean the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle, umm, I mean the RV. It was only a five-minute drive to the Court House but it took them close to twenty to get Danny unstuck from the Ghost Assault Vacuum. When they finally arrived at the courthouse the parking lot was packed and security had to see Danny and Jazz (who was in a purple lab suit) to their seats. They were in the front row beside (surprise, surprise) a reporter whose nametag read Lois Lane.
Jack stood up to make his speech and the worst two hours of Danny's life began. The speech was nearing its end when blue smoke started to stream form Danny's mouth. He looked up just to see a panther ghost leap down form above….and landed on Ms Lane! He had to think fast; seeing that everyone was distracted, he dove behind a chair and transformed. He then flew out form behind the chair and rammed into the ghost, sending both of them through the wall and outside.
The panther was the first to move, laying open Danny's arm and back from wrist to the edge of his shoulder blade with his sharp claws. Danny grabbed the panther by the neck. Snapped his good wrist around he sent the ghost into a fire hydrant. Silently he cursed himself for not bringing the thermos, but what is done is done. He dodged another blow and sent an ectoplasmic blast into its back, between its shoulder blades. It hit the ground hard, but got right back up lunging and trying to pin him down, but Danny dodged just in time. Then, out of nowhere, Tucker appeared with the thermos.
"Catch" Tuck threw Danny the Fenton Ghost Catcher. After a short burst of green light the battle was over, and Danny sunk to the ground with blood pouring out of the claw marks in his arm. He managed to get up again and make it into a hedge before he lost consciousness.
Inside the building chaos reigned, and people ran back and forth apparently doing nothing at all, except for screaming for their lives. Lois, on the other hand, was having the time of her life, she had already gotten several interviews from the Fenton family and now she was looking for the other child, Danny.
"Mr. Fenton, where is your son?"
"Probably chasing after that ghost, he carries some of my equipment with him wherever he goes."
"You're not worried about him?"
"He should be all right, but would you mind looking for him for me?" Jack wanted to get to this mystery quickly and this woman was getting on his nerves, let Danny deal with her.
"I would be happy to." Inside Lois was fuming, but she needed to get all the sides of this issue before she wrote a story.
Outside
Tucker was half carrying, the now human, Danny down the street to Sam's house, basically because Sam had the biggest Med-Kit and the most careless parents. The wound on Danny's arm had not stopped bleeding, and that worried Tuck more than a little bit. Just then, out of nowhere, there came a wind, it was kinda like having a car go by. The wind subsided and then came again. This time a man in a red suit appeared, The Flash.
"Hey kids; you okay?" Tucker knew he couldn't hide a wound that large from a man who thinks faster than a super computer. He didn't have a chance to explain before he saw a puff of smoke enter his, now awake, friend's mouth, unfortunately, the Flash saw it too.
"What the…." He was interrupted, however, when Danny knocking the Flash and Tucker aside and took the blow from another panther ghost. Flash and Tuck were unharmed, but Danny had fallen unconscious again, leaving him to the mercy of the ghost. It went to leap, but was knocked aside by a flying bat-shaped piece of metal. It growled at the dark shadow that had foiled its attempt to kill the ghost boy.
"Leave me be, my job is to kill the halfa; other than that, I will do no harm." The panther growled.
"It, it talked?" The Flash couldn't believe his ears.
It went to leap at Danny again, but this time the huge fist of Superman slammed it into the ground, keeping it from its goal. Then Tuck managed to suck it into the thermos, and things were quiet once more, except for the nonsense words escaping Tucker's mouth when he realized that the Justice League surrounded him. The following thud was him fainting from the shock.
