Chapter nine- The Meeting
Skulker had spotted him first and moved to strike, the Phantom was patiently waiting a top a building for someone but who? Oh, well, better now than the more likely never. A net flew out from his arsenal only it was shredded into mere fibers in seconds, this omega was no mere toy and wasn't going to be treated as such. He turned and Skulker had to restrain his instincts not to take him. Those emerald eyes seemed to be burning a hole deep into the Hunter's soul with interest and suspicion.
"You. "
"You." The Omega taunted. "You work for him, right? Crazy psycho overlord guy?" Skulker was confused for about a second but then he nodded and inched ever so closer~! "Hold it! I got a message for the jerkaholic fruitloop. If he wants to meet Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom, he's gotta do two things. "
"You do realize you're not in a position to negotiate, right? " Skulker replied arming himself.
"Try me... " Those emerald eyes turned diamond at this. "I got ice shards laced around a couple of random necks if the Emperor wants my attention like a decent Alpha he'll come find me himself at the Fenton's in the clearing just behind their house right at the mouth of the Northern over pass."
"You little ~" Skulker was prepared to blast the little heathen at his claim, he was dangerous and needed to be tamed by a strong hand.
"JOKING~!" Sung the icy Omega as he twirled around, Skulker released the breath he'd been holding. Who knew something so cute could make such daunting threats and look so serious while doing it. At least it was only a joke and nothing more but he couldn't take the Omega lightly, they did just put him through hell after all. "My obsession doesn't allow me to harm innocents, hell I'd cry if I hurt a fly. But seriously the Emperor needs to chillax a bit and back off, all this suffocation is damn near killing me. I didn't mean to you know~ Throw razor sharp snowballs at his face, I was just scared. The date is still up for discussion that is if he checks up on the Omega populace, I aim to protect not destroy. The majority of Alphas out this way are assholes and I'm too used to dealing with them." Skulker nodded, the boy just wanted some respect and from both accounts Plasmius hadn't shown that much of it. "And two, can someone pull that stupid bounty from my head? It's getting kinda cramped having to fly through alleyways. " The spirit then disappeared in a flurry of snow.
It took a minute but through a series of insane texts and a somewhat negotiative mirror call with Jazz , Danny came home. He stood outside for the longest behind a tree; the Royal Spirit Guard was outside. Would they attack him on sight or would they let him pass? Sam and Tucker cried but wished him good luck in trying to reason with the madman then went to their perspective homes. He really wished they were there with him but Danny had bigger problems to focus on right now though as in A) how to get pass the guards and B) what was he going to say to that~ Tyrant. The man had attacked him only to write up a warrant for his arrest, he was insane... One seriously crazed up fruitloop. He transformed...
Danny looked out from his tree in the clearing only to find... Emperor Plasmius with his back to him. He had to admit the man was handsome when not trying to molest him or hold him hostage. Long platinum hair, pale sun kissed skin with hella awesome scar, the perfect warrior Alpha only... He was rude, narcissistic, insane, psychotic, manipulative, the list in Danny's head went on till finally he floated on down and landed softly in the grass. He popped his knees like a nervous school girl not sure how to approach the elephant in the room. What could he say let alone avoid getting into without offending the man and adding more craziness to his wrap sheet.
"Are you going to say something or stand there and gawk? " Danny looked up with annoyance and scoffed.
"Typical Alpha dickhead. " The boy muttered and made to leave but a hand grabbed his wrist.
"Wait a minute, boy! " The natural power of that tone made the Omega freeze with submission. "You invited me and out of respect I told my guard to still their hand for both your forms. The least you can do is follow through with this waltz."
"So I can get raped in my~ 'friend's' own backyard, no thanks." Danny sassed as he took his arm back. "You attacked me~ my friend last night for trying to leave who knows what you'll attempt to do to ME now that WE'RE alone. So I'm bailing while the goings good. " Phantom floated away, he was near the forest edge ready to disappear forever till...
"This may be the first time these words have graced my vocabulary but... I apologize. " Danny turned and looked at the tycoon in awe and confusion.
"I'm sorry, big wig who put a warrant on me and my FRIEND say what? "
"I'm apologizing, Phantom... " Plasmius mused. "I was disrespectful upon BOTH our encounters. My instincts lacked discipline and my ego could afford to be drummed down a few notches. Plus that warrant was only issued so the mages and hunters had a drive to find you faster." The spirit tilted his head in contemplation but moved closer, the man's words seemed genuine but the ultimate test had yet to come. Danny summed up a bit of his essence and allowed it to seep slowly into the air watching for the first telltale sign of a feral monster.
"They did. " Phantom deadpanned. " Thanks to your little warrant, the price on my head escalated, everyone knows now... But what do you mean 'both our encounters,'?" Danny was confused, he'd only met this guy once and that was last night at the Manson's and they BOTH know how that went. In the midst of Danny's musing, Plasmius had slipped over and gingerly lifted the Omega's chin with his finger.
"Let me show you... "
