Chapter 6: The Ghost Files
As sunlight filtered in through the blinds, one lone beam of light splayed across a sleeping Danny. A serene smile reached all across his face, his normally messy black hair tousled even more from the previous night. As he silently breathed in, his nose picked up a faint scent…like lavender…
His eyes slowly fluttered open and he looked down and smiled. Sam lay asleep on top of him, her head resting right on his chest. She held an equally peaceful smile, her hair also a little messier for the wear from last night. He gently ran his fingers through her hair and chuckled softly. Last night seemed so surreal, and yet everything really had happened.
Danny couldn't feel his legs…Sam must've put enough of her weight on them to cut off the circulation. Oddly enough, he didn't care. An idea struck his head and he closed his eyes in concentration. Without moving, an exact copy of Danny emerged from his body, tux and everything intact. He quietly whispered to his clone, "Listen, I'm kinda in the middle of something here… go up to my computer and update my ghost files. Change the password while you're there, I forgot to change it after all this time…"
Danny whispered the new password in his clone's ear and the copy ran upstairs. It quietly snuck into Danny's room and closed the door behind it. Danny's laptop beeped a couple times and then sprang to life. As he brought up the files on Danny's ghostly enemies, he found the settings panel and clicked on the words "Change Password".
When Danny had discovered three years ago that everybody knew his password, he had it changed immediately. However, given the recent events…he felt another change was in order. The clone deleted the words "Ghostly Wail" from the menu and entered the new password Danny had told him to… "Samantha Fenton".
The clone smiled as the new password was set and moved on to Plasmius's ghost file. At the very bottom he typed:
Plasmius has been removed from Vlad Masters and destroyed. Vlad has since been taken into federal custody and awaits trial for his countless crimes. Will add more information as it comes.
Danny's clone then moved to the "New File" button. With the blank form ready, he filled in the new profile of Amity's latest halfa…
SUBJECT: Samantha Manson a.k.a. "Sam Phantom"
STATUS: Half-ghost, half-human hybrid
AFFILIATION: Ally, girlfriend of Daniel Fenton/Danny Phantom
POWERS: Increased strength, agility, and speed have been noted. Has the ability to transform into a ghostly state much like other hybrids. In her ghostly form, her hair becomes white with a streak of pale purple on the side. Her eyes begin to glow although they do not change color. She also has powers of flight, invisibility, intangibility, and overshadowing based on results from preliminary tests performed last night on 06/05/06. Battle experience has shown that she also has command of ghostly rays. On an interesting note, she seems to have a previously undiscovered power to be able to heal the wounds inflicted to herself and those around her. This has been labeled "Ghost healing" until more info can be found. Not sure if she has power to use such attacks as ghostly wail yet. But for the time being, she has a tremendous amount of control over her abilities for having them for such a short time (most likely from observing other ghost fights).
The clone then turned to Danny's file. He scrolled down to the POWERS line and added the following statement.
As of 06/05/06, another power has been discovered. Labeled as the "Ghost Blade", this power allows me to create a sword-like blade out of ectoplasm by manipulating the ectoplasm with my hands. Have only used this power once. It is unknown what power the blade truly holds, all I know is that it has the innate ability to separate ghosts from human bodies, even remove the ghost half from a hybrid. Plasmius was removed and destroyed using this power. I am the only halfa ever to have used this, like Sam and her healing abilities. Will add more info as it comes.
Satisfied with its work, the clone logged off the database and floated back downstairs, rejoining Danny's real body. Danny smiled as Sam began to stir and open her eyes. She looked dreamily up at Danny and whispered, "This isn't a dream, is it." Danny kissed her gently and said, "Nope, this is real. By the way, I love you." Sam sighed happily and said, "Shut up Danny."
He looked confused until she plowed in for another kiss, much deeper and much more enthusiastically. Needless to say…the two halfas weren't moving for anything until they had gotten their chance to...err… "catch up" on lost ground.
