Chapter 13: SuspicionsValerie Grey was a very smart girl, and her favorite type of books were myestries. Too many times had she solved a myestry of question upon her readings before the main character even figured it out. Valerie had one case to crack now: if Danny Phantom, or the "ghost boy" as oh-so-popular Paulina called him, was half human, who was his human half?
To Valerie, Technus aided her with that built-in suit. She had a better hearing sense, since the suit came with a hearing aid that worked beyond modern technology. She had heard everything Sam, Tucker, and especially Danny were talking about ever since Danny came out of the bathroom, and she was suspicious.
Valerie was the shoot-first-ask-questions-later type of person, but this time, there was no target. A few hours earlier, she browsed the library and found a strange book in the Ghost Hunting section, glad that the library even had books on ghost hunting. It was titled "Understanding Halfas," by two named Hosgt Ladiy and Refak Wosh. Those names were suspicious… what kind of name was Hosgt and Refak, anyway? She had never heard of them, and why would they be interested in ghost hunting, much less write a book on it?
And what was a halfa?
Valerie Grey got her answer when Star, her best friend forever, answered truthfully due to her lie detector. Val was deep in thought, trying to bring together the pieces of the puzzle and if possible, complete them. She knew, from Star's accurate information, that whoever these two authors named Hosgt Ladiy and Refak Wosh were, they were trying to expose the ghost boy by writing about his human life.
"Earth to Valerie," Dash blinked, threatening to dump his lemonade on her hair.
"Eh? Oh, what is it, Dash?" Valerie glared at the lemonade can and she yanked it from his hands, putting it down firmly on the table.
"You've been like, on Mars for five minutes." Kwan answered for him. "Are you okay?"
"Yea, whatever, just thinking," Valerie fixed her ginger-orange headband. It was one of her favorites, a fake jeweled embroider, flashing with many shades of amthyst and violet-purple.
"Gurl, you think too much," Star laughed, "It's bad for the brain."
"That's what you think," Valerie rolled her eyes. "I came upon an interesting book this morning in the library. It's called Understanding Halfas by some kooky people called Hosgt Ladiy and Refak Wosh. I mean- seriously. What kind of names are Hosgt and Refak? They must be a code-name or something for their real names. By the cover and Star's information, I suspect that these two are trying to expose the human side of the ghost boy. But, the title is Understanding Halfas with an "s." Could that mean that there are more like the ghost boy around? Argh this is so confusing and I'm goanna crack the case no matter what!"
Star and Paulina exchanged looks while Dash and Kwan ran to the bathroom at the same time. Well, it looks like that contest was a tie.
"Val, you're just too determined and such," Paulina sighed, then drifted off to dreamland. "Yet, determination is a good thing! For example, I'm determind to be carried away in the ghost boy's arms!"
"Ugh, spare me," Vlaerie bumped her head on the table, shifting slightly at the impact. "Ghost boy this, ghost boy that, seriously! What do you see in him?"
"Uh, are you like, totally serious? He's like, the coolest thing since the internet!" Paulina's jaw dropped, so not believing the ninth degree blackbelt. "Like, he's charming, handsome, not to mention he's nice and sweet!"
"He's dead," Valerie rolled her eyes, "Well, now that you tell me, half dead. But still, what if you only like his ghost half and hate his human half?"
"Uh," Paulina's eyes darted across to room to make sure that no one had heard that. That statement was a coincidence, but it was just so true. "Would I happen to know his human half?"
"Ionno, maybe." Valerie put her hand on her chin, analyzing things carefully. This Phantom figure looked about the same age as her, maybe a few months older. Judging by height, he'd be somewhere around 13-16. His attitude… wasn't really that evil macanical laughter, and whenever Valerie fought him before school, it looked like he was worried about the time as well. "Maybe he goes to our school?"
Star coughed, nearly choking on her french fry. "Really, what kid who goes to our school has white hair and green eyes?"
"Yea, but maybe…" Valerie laughed, "I think I'm looking too deep into this."
"you got that right," Paulina glanced up. Dash and Kwan were back, and they looked rather disturbed.
"What is it this time?" Paulina rolled her eyes. "Last time, you two saw two gay guys making out in a stall, and you told me that you couldn't get images out of your head for two months. Really, it's not your fault that you two are perverts."
"Hey, Kwan's the pervert, not me," Dash glared offensively as Kwan rolled his eyes.
"No, this time I saw blood near the sink," Kwan looked like he was about to faint. "It's all sticky and.. ugh and there's green specks in it."
"And it was like, all over the sink," Dash looked pale, not to mention as if he'd just seen a ghost. "My brain died."
"Dude, your brain was already dead," Star rolled her eyes, sipping on her drink.
"Did you say green specks?" Valerie narrowed her eyes, "Hold on, I'm going to check something,"
"WHAT? You can't go in there- it's a boy's bathroom," Paulina choked. "That's like, against the rules! And, how do you get there,anyway?"
a few minutes later…
"Valerie, is that YOU!" Star nearly fainted. Valerie was in some strange Nasty Burger costume and it looked like she worked there.
"Uh, no," Vlaerie rolled her eyes, "I'm pretending to clean the toilets and while I'm there, I'm getting a blood sample."
With that, she left.
"Uh, do you think she's suspicious?" Dash asked.
"Oh, yea," Star sighed, "she's always suspicious. Like the time I found a cat on the way to school, the fluffy thing was so adorable! It was like, cute and it had pretty green eyes, and like, she said there was some ghost overshadowing it. Seriously! Seriously though, I think she's obsessed with this ghost hunting business. Like, she even skipped a trip to the mall!"
"Wow," Kwan blinked. "That's a lot to take in,"
"I'm back, missed me?" Valerie popped out of nowhere, in her regular clothes: a light blue strapless top with camo capris.
"No," Paulina rolled her eyes. "We didn't even notice you were gone."
"Anyway," Valerie rolled her eyes, making her left arm form the suit from Technus. She placed a bit of the blood sample there, and calculations showed up. "wow, it looks like the ghost boy's DNA structure is.. suprisingly? Human, but it's covered in ectoplasm."
"How'd you do that?" Dash gawked. No regular teenager can transform her arm into a super computer that reads blood samples.
"Eh, I'm used to it, some ghost was trying to waste the ghost kid and gave me this suit, including this part," Valerie clicked some buttons and began to think. If those calculations were correct, then the ghost boy was around fourteen, and was exposed to ectoplasm around nine months ago or so. Hmmm…
"Uh, Val? Let's talk about something other than trying to figure out who the ghost boy is. Let's talk about, uh, fashion!" Star tried to talk her best friend forever out of thinking, but it was no use. When Valerie was determined, she was determined.
"Uh, later," Valerie began to think. She wasn't sure she liked where this was going. Maybe the ghost boy wasn't evil, yet then, that would mean his human form was innocent. No one in Casper High matched the ghost's description, but what if.. no. She wouldn't even go down that road. It was scientifically impossible! … right?
Valerie sighed, putting her work aside for a minute to take out that book she borrowed from the library.. understanding halfas by Hosgt Ladiy and Refak Wosh. Wait a minute…
"Star, you're good at solving puzzles," Val wrote the two names down on a piece of scrap paper. "These names look like a puzzle. What do you reckon they're hiding?"
"Well," Star examined the strange names. She was a expertise at puzzle-solving, crosswords, and such. "As far as I'm concerned, these two people are Ghost Ladiy or something, and Freak Hows? Show…?"
"Them!" Valerie gasped, "but.. why?"
"Um, hello, Val? Who's them?" Paulina blinked. She was just as interested in the ghost business as Valerie, but she preferred not to show it, for the sake of her popularity and sanity.
"You know Circus Gothica? The crazy emo place that came into Amity about five months ago?" Valerie scanned her wrist-watch device for more information. The suit Technus had given her was extremely helpful- she had a handeld PDA like Foley's, but it was in the form of a wrist-watch. She quickly typed in some suspicions and started to scan the articles that came up.
"Yea, what about it?" All of them answered at the same time.
"Freak Show, or how he called himself, was the person in charge of the place, and he was associated with ghosts, despite the fact that he is a human, himself. His partner was a ghost named Lydia, and they had been captured by the Guys in White for investigation. Apparently, according to Jazz, Freak Show has some major ghost envy," Valerie rolled her eyes.
"Wow," Star blinked. "But why would they write a book on halfas?"
"To try and expose them," Kwan realized. "So, they could go for experimenting and if this Freak guy has ghost envy like Fenton's sister said, then this guy probably wants to find a way to make him a ghost! Or, part ghost or something."
"Wow, that's the smartest thing you've said since third grade!" Paulina nearly fainted.
"Har har, very funny," Kwan rolled his eyes. "In fifth grade I proved my thesis on the earth's polar axis."
"Dude, Mikey did that report for you," Dash smirked.
"Argh, whatever," Kwan sighed and glanced at what Valerie was doing. She was reading that book.. things weren't looking good. Were they ever?
"Hmm," Valerie mumbled, "What if Kwan's right? Then he'll make an army of half ghosts to attack Amity! What if, what if-"
"Whoa girl, chill! Calm down, geez. It's just a thought," Star chuckled, eating a few french fries. "Besides, what-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPP!"
A giant mass of ectoplasm flew into Nasty Burger, ramming itself against the wall. It was a large jade-colored dragon, with glowing emerald scales and lime tinted claws. Its spikes were a olive tinted ivory, and its wings had a light shade of amethyst mixed with a wine-red. Its teeth were razor-sharp, its claws like daggers. Its cold, icy, sapphire stare rested upon many of the customers as it eyed everyone, suspiciously.
Valerie narrowed her eyes, attempting to get up. At Dash's hushed "Don't fight it, leave that to the ghost kid," Val grudgingly sat down once again, promising herself to defeat the ghost boy once he vanquished the dragon.
All of a sudden, Danny Phantom flew into the scene. Many fangirls (as well as some fanboys) swooned and fainted at his appearance. Rolling his eyes, Danny shot an ectoplasmic beam at the dragon and began to work.
The dragon knew what was coming and with a stroke of its wings, flew into the air although that action was unncessecary since it was a ghost. Baring its teeth, the dragon lunged at Danny, its tail spikes at bay. Danny went intangiable, and the dragon hit the wall. It roared, taking flight once more and swiftly flew at Danny.
Knowing what was coming, he went intangiable again, but he knew he couldn't keep delaying the battle with intagiability. Most likely, the store owner was going to blame him for the property damage. As the dragon launched itself like a torpedo at Danny once more, he created an ectoplasmic sheild long enough to endure the attack, then blasted the creature with his blasts.
"Geez, you're really annoying, you know that? Why can't you go back to the ghost zone and leave me alone!" Danny yelled frustrated that the dragon was still up after many shots.
"Becausssse I'm not that easssssily defeated," the dragon roared. Rather, hissed.
"You can.. tALK?" Danny was stunned. Perhaps this was another shapeshifter?
"What sssshapessssshifter can not?" The dragon hissed, before launching itself at Danny. Danny barely had the time to dodge before its claws dug at his back. Grimacing painfully, Danny struggled and got out of its grasp.
"Then why aren't you changing form?" Danny glared, firing ectoblasts at the creature. No matter how much he attacked, it didn't seem to work since shapeshifters were naturally well protected from ecto-blasts primarily. He would have to use his ghostly wail, but he didn't want to use up that much energy on the dragon ghost- it hit him: according to his previous year's mythology lessons, dragons were unprotected and most vulnerable between the eyes.
Smirking, Danny waited until the dragon shapeshifted launched itself at Danny again before shooting ectoplasmic beams in between its eyes. The dragon roared in pain before it lost concentation and its flight was disable, landing on the ground. Snarling, it glowed a faint navy before shifting its shape.
This time, it was a smaller dragon, but a dragon nevertheless. This new dragon was quicker, and its wings, which were usually of thin membrane and easily pierced by archers, were coated heavily in armor. Despite the dangerous defending and offending armor that coated its scales, the dragon's eyes were once more unprotected.
The dragon flew at Danny, and he tried to dodge the attack. Unfortunately, its wings brushed his stomach, creating a large wound where the previous shapeshifter's claws had been.
"how'd you.. how'd you do that?" Danny said in pain. He summoned energy in his hands, preparing for another attack.
"Hnn, you're an idiot," The miniature dragon hissed, rather snake-like "do you not read anything? In the Middle Agesssss, dragonsssssss were hunted down ssssso sssssome who took pity gave usssss armor to offend and defend. Any part of our armor issssss a dangerousssssss weapon. I sssssuggest you sssssurrender, yesssss?"
"That, is never going to happen," Danny glared, releasing the ectoplasmic energy at the dragon between the eyes. Before the minute dragon could dodge, the attack hit the creature at full force, and it went down. Before Danny could suck the ghost in his thermos, the ghost got up and sent a rather nasty looking weapon that hit him in the middle of the forehead, leaving a small scratch.
"Okay, now I'm pissed. You've officially wasted over 5 minutes of my time," Danny growled, using ectoplasmic blasts to pin the dragon to a wall before his thermos did the job. Ignoring the oblivious fan-people, he floated on top of the ceiling and dissapeared.
"No! His signal's gone!" Valerie groaned, checking her tracking device. "According to the information I've gathered, Danny Phantom must have went into his original, human state."
"Wow, you sound like a geek," Paulina rolled her eyes. "did you see that? He was sooo cool!"
"Argh, will you get over him?" Dash groaned. He had been waiting like, forever to ask Paulina out, but that stupid ghost kid was always in his way.
"I'm going to see if I can get another blood sample," Valerie said absent-mindedly, glancing up at the boy's bathroom. As if in an instant, the door opened. Valerie gasped. There, was Danny Fenton, looking like he just went through a car accident. He had a small scratch on his forehead, exactly like..
Valerie's eyes widened. That wasn't possible!
