Hope you guys didn't miss me that much. I am back with another chapter! Hope you guys will enjoy it! This happened during In Blackest Night.
Chapter 4: Government Enemy
Inside a white office room, two agents wearing white suits stood in front of a white desk, where a man with a white suit and hat sat. One of the agents has dark skin while the other one was pale.
"It appears the Ghost Menace has fooled the heroes," one of the agents said, holding a folder.
"So, what now?" the other agent asked.
"We use this to our advantage," the general said, sneering. "We'll use the heroes and finally catch that menace."
The two agents grinned, liking the sound of the plan.
Amity Park…
Danny was flying around the afternoon sky, enjoying his weekend. Ever since the formation of the Justice League, some people were actually starting to trust him and calling him Danny Phantom instead of Inviso-Bill, though other people, like Red Huntress and his parents, still hate him.
Speaking of his parents, they were extremely worried when he was missing during the Invasion. Luckily, all he needed to do was to say the word 'ghosts' and that was enough to his parents. His friends, on the other hand, were shocked that Danny met other heroes and he formed a team with them.
Danny had to admit it; it was awesome to be part of a superhero team, especially being able to hang around inside the Watchtower. He was a little tired from his friends' constant questions, especially Tucker's question if Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman were single.
Suddenly, his communicator started beeping.
"Hello?" Danny asked, activating his communicator.
"Phantom, it's Batman," Batman said. "I need your help."
"Is this a joke?" Danny asked, stopping in midair. "Flash, is that you?"
Gotham City…
"This isn't a joke," Batman said as he looked around a jewelry store that was recently broken in. "One of your ghosts has recently attacked a jewelry store here in Gotham."
"What?" Danny said through the communicator. "Why would a ghost be there and not here? And why would they rob a jewelry store?"
"That's why I need your help," Batman said. "How fast can you get here?"
Amity Park…
"I'll be there in about…one hour," Danny said, looking at the direction where Gotham City is. "See you there."
He ended the communications and flew towards Gotham City as fast as he can. Unknown to him, Agents K and O were watching Danny, wearing jetpacks.
"Target is on the move," Agent K said through his communicator.
"Good," the general said. "Begin Phase Two."
One Hour Later…
Batman stood on top of a building, looking down the streets. He suddenly noticed a silver blur flying towards him. He watched as Danny stopped in front of him, panting for air.
"You're late," Batman said as Danny straightened up.
"Nice…to see…you too, Bats," Danny said, as he finally calmed down. "So, where do we start?"
Danny followed Batman towards the jewelry store, which looked like it's seen better days. The window was shattered, the glass cases were smashed and there were craters on the walls, ceiling and floor.
"Who did this?" Danny asked, looking at the damage. He knew the ghosts want to cause trouble, but he's never seen this kind of damage before.
"This fell from the ghost," Batman said as he pulled a strip of metal from his utility belt.
Danny stared at the metal, narrowing his eyes.
"What did the ghost look like?" Danny asked. "Was he a robot-like ghost with flaming hair?"
"No," Batman said. "It was reptilian wearing metal armor."
Danny's eyes widened when he heard that. He never heard of a ghost like that before.
"Must be a new ghost," Danny commented. "Which way did it go?"
"According to reports, the ghost went to Wayne Industry," Batman said, walking towards the exit.
"Wayne, as in Bruce Wayne?" Danny asked, following Batman. "A friend of mine said that he's a real jerk, though I think he's a cool guy."
Batman didn't comment, he just stood there, waiting for something. Suddenly, Danny heard a loud screech. He looked and his jaw dropped as he saw an awesome looking, black car stopping n front of them.
"That is one sweet ride," Danny commented as the doors opened. "Can I drive?"
"Get in," Batman said as he got in the driver's seat.
"Guess that's a no," Danny said as he sat shotgun.
While the Batmobile sped across the street, Agents K and O watched the heroes go towards Wayne Industry.
"The Menace has taken the bait," Agent K said. "What are your next orders?"
"Just let out new toy handle the work for us," the general said.
The agents smirked as Agent O held up a remote control.
Wayne Industry…
The Batmobile stopped in front of Wayne Industry, which looked like a bulldozer just entered the building. Danny followed Batman to the entrance, which was now a hole.
"Woah, someone did some remodeling," Danny said as he looked at wrecked place.
Batman didn't comment, though he looked a bit annoyed. He walked through the destruction with Danny behind him.
"So…how are the others doing?" Danny asked as they climbed up the stairs, feeling tension in the air.
Batman didn't reply.
"…Okay," Danny said in an awkward tone. Suddenly, his Ghost Senses activated. "Uh oh."
Before they could react, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a giant something falling towards them. The two jumped sideways as the thing smashed the ground, making a small crater. Once the dust cleared, Danny was looking at a green reptilian ghost with angry red eyes wearing strange, beeping armor.
The ghost roared and ran to the opposite direction. Danny flew after it with Batman beside him.
"Look familiar?" Batman asked as they chased after the ghost.
"Never seen it before," Danny replied, looking at the ghost. "But something feels…wrong."
"Well things are going to feel more wrong if we don't stop that thing from destroying the building," Batman said.
The two chased after the Ghost Lizard, which stopped inside a laboratory. The ghost turned towards the two heroes and roared.
"Easy there, big, green and snarly," Danny said, raising his glowing hands. "We don't want to fight you."
The Ghost Lizard roared and picked up a lab table. Then it threw the table towards Danny and Batman. Batman jumped out of the way as Danny turned intangible, causing the table to phase through him.
"Okay, maybe we will fight you," Danny said as he fired at the ghost.
The ghost ran up the ceiling, dodging the blast. The ray almost hit a generator, missing by an inch.
"Be careful!" Batman exclaimed as he pulled out a batarang. "If you hit those generators, you'll blow up the lab!"
"Thank you for the heads up," Danny said sarcastically as he fired at the ghost.
Batman threw the batarang at the ghost, who turned intangible, causing the projectile to phase through it. Danny charged at the Ghost Lizard, only to get swatted by its tail. Danny crashed on a shelf full of empty beakers and test tubes.
Batman pulled out another batarang and threw it at the ghost. The giant reptile just grabbed the batarang before it could hit it. The batarang started blinking and exploded, pushing the Ghost Lizard away.
Danny stood up and walked towards Batman, who glared at the ghost.
"How do we beat that thing?" Batman asked.
"We need to contain it," Danny said as he pulled out a silver thermos. "With this."
"A thermos?" Batman asked, looking at the thermos.
"It's a ghost thermos," Danny said as he looked at the ghost. "You distract the ghost while I sneak behind it."
Batman nodded as the Ghost Lizard roared angrily at them. Batman threw another batarang at it, hitting it on the face. That got its attention. The ghost roared and charged at Batman, who jumped on one of the shelves. While the Ghost Lizard was chasing Batman, Danny sneaked behind the ghost, using his invisibility.
He aimed the thermos at the ghost and was about to fire when something suddenly shocked him. Batman looked back when he saw Danny getting electrocuted. Before he could react, the ghost slammed him with its tail. Batman flew towards a shelf, slamming on it. The shelf then started falling on him, trapping him.
Danny fell to the ground, his body smoking from the electricity. He slowly looked back and saw two guys wearing white suits, one of them was holding a taser-like blaster while the other one was holding a remote controller.
"Got you now, ghost," Agent O sneered as he pressed a button on the remote. The ghost roared in anger as its body was electrocuted before it walked towards them.
Danny gave the two agents a disgusted look as he tried to stand up. Agent K fired at Danny, causing the ghost to scream in pain. Danny fell flat on his stomach, blacking out. Agent O pressed another button, making the ghost lizard grabbed Danny with its mouth.
Batman slowly looked up and saw the Ghost Lizard carrying Danny with his jaws, two guys wearing white beside it.
"Thanks for your assistance, Batman," Agent K said, sneering. "We'll be in touch."
Batman groaned as he tried to get out of the shelf. He slowly reached for his communicator as the agents and ghost walked away.
"Batman…to anyone…" Batman said, groaning. "Need…help…at…Wayne Industry…"
Batman's hand dropped as his lost consciousness.
Later…
Danny slowly opened his eyes and tried to rub his head, only to find himself shackled. His eyes widened when he looked around the place. He was inside a cage that was inside a giant vehicle. In front of him, the Ghost Lizard was looking at him, his eyes filled with hate. Danny tried touching the bars, but he got shocked.
"Ghost proof cage," a voice said, causing Danny to turn his head. "You can't get out of there, no matter what, ghost."
"Guys in White," Danny spat, glaring at the two agents. "Still wasting money I see."
"Can it, scum!" Agent K exclaimed as he aimed his blaster at Danny. "Before I turn you into ashes!"
Danny glared at the two agents before turning his attention to the Ghost Lizard. His expression changed from anger to pity.
"So you manage to create a device that controls ghosts," Danny said, his anger right back on his face. "Impressive…for a bunch of morons."
"Laugh while you can, ghost," Agent O said, sneering. "Cause once we arrived at HQ, you won't be laughing when we cut you open."
Danny's expression hardened, hiding the panic he was feeling.
Wayne Industry…
"Why would they take Danny?" Wonder Woman asked, looking at Batman as he was looking for something.
Wonder Woman was the only one who responded to Batman's distress call, since the others were busy with another mission. When she got there, she quickly helped Batman from the fallen shelf and asked what was wrong.
"Because he's a ghost," Batman replied, causing Wonder Woman to look confused. "The Guys in White is a government group that hunts ghosts."
"But why?" Wonder Woman asked. "Why would someone harm spirits?"
Batman didn't answer; he just picked up a metal cylinder. He stared at it before placing it on his utility belt.
"Let's go," Batman said as he stood up, walking towards the hallway. "We have to get Phantom back."
"How?" Wonder Woman asked, following Batman.
Batman showed a small tracking device that had a red light blinking on the screen.
"What strange device is that?" Wonder Woman asked, looking at the tracking device.
"This will lead us to Phantom," Batman replied. "Let's go."
Meanwhile, inside the white jet, Danny was trying to find a way to escape. While looking, his attention kept going to the angry Ghost Lizard. He felt sorry for it. He could sense that the ghost didn't want to do this, but the strange armor was making him.
His fists clenched in anger. He would be okay if the Guys in White were only after him, but using ghosts to do their dirty work like robots were unforgivable.
"I'll get you out of this," Danny said in a solemn voice. "I promise."
The Ghost Lizard looked at Danny, his eyes looking a little less angry. Danny gave it a small smile when the ghost suddenly screamed in pain. Danny's eyes widened as he turned his attention to Agent O, who was holding the controller.
"Stop it!" Danny exclaimed as he smashed the handcuffs on the cage, desperately trying to break free. "Stop hurting it you monster!"
"Don't make me laugh, ghost," Agent O sneered, looking like he was enjoying the scene. "You ghosts don't feel pain or human feelings!"
"And you call yourself human!?" Danny angrily demanded. "If being human means being a soulless monster, then I'm glad to be a ghost!"
Agent O stared at Danny before his expression turned to anger. He pressed a button of the controller, stopping the torture he was doing to the ghost.
"How about we give the ghost here a little exercise?" Agent O said, sneering as he was about to press another button.
Before his finger reached the button, the jet abruptly stopped. The ghost, cage and Agent O slide towards the wall. Agent O slammed painfully on it and was crushed by the Ghost Lizard. The cage hit the wall, destroying it.
"Now this is more like it," Danny said, smirking at the unconscious agent. He turned to the ghost and grinned. "Can you get this off me?"
The Ghost Lizard replied by biting the handcuffs off, ripping it off Danny's hands.
"Thanks," Danny said with a grin as he massaged his wrists. "Now let's get you out of that stupid armor."
He ripped the armor to pieces, tearing it away from the ghost's body. It gave a loud roar, happy to be free.
"Stop right there!" a voice exclaimed. They turned and Danny was shot by electricity. Danny kneeled on the ground, wincing. He looked up and saw Agent K aiming a blaster at them. "Like I said, don't move!"
"Who's gonna make us? You?" Danny said with a sarcastic expression, trying not to wince.
Agent K growled and fired at Danny. Before Danny could brace himself, the Ghost Lizard pushed him out of the way, getting hit.
"No!" Danny exclaimed as the ghost fell to the ground. He ran towards it and gently patted its head.
"Don't worry, ghost," Agent K said as he powered his blaster up. "He's not going to suffer much as you will!"
Just as he was about to fire, the walls suddenly exploded and Wonder Woman charged at Agent K. She punched the man of the face, sending him towards the unconscious Agent O.
"Wonder Woman!" Danny exclaimed, happy to see his friend.
"Danny!" Wonder Woman exclaimed as she flew towards the ghosts. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Danny exclaimed through the howling wind. "We have to get out of here!"
He grabbed the Ghost Lizard's body and lifted it up.
"Help me get it to safety!" Danny shouted to Wonder Woman. The Amazon gave him a confused look, but she still helped him carry the ghost.
The two flew towards the hole Wonder Woman made, leaving the unconsciousness agents behind. Behind the white jet, the Batwing was holding the jet with a grappler. When Batman saw that Danny was free, he quickly released the white jet, causing it to fly away.
"All right!" Danny cheered as he watched the GiW jet fly away.
The Ghost Lizard slowly lifted its head, looking around.
"You okay there, buddy?" Danny asked.
The ghost replied by giving Danny a lick on the face. Danny laughed as the Ghost Lizard tickled his face. Wonder Woman smiled as she watched them as Batman followed from behind.
Later…
Danny, Wonder Woman and Batman were standing near a mountain's base with the Ghost Lizard. Danny was petting the ghost, who was nuzzling at him.
"You'll be fine here," Danny said gently, smiling at the Ghost Lizard. "Stay safe, okay?"
The Ghost Lizard nodded before it flew towards the top of the mountain, roaring with joy. They watched as the ghost flew up high, turning into a small blur until it disappeared into the mountains.
"Are you sure it was a good idea to leave it alone?" Batman asked as Danny turned around. "What happens if it attacks people?"
"Not all ghosts are evil, Bats," Danny said. "Some of them just want to be left alone."
"Man's world is more intriguing than I thought," Wonder Woman said as she looked at the place the Ghost Lizard disappeared.
"How did you find me, by the way?" Danny asked, looking at the two older heroes.
"Tracking device," Batman replied calmly. Danny looked around his body and found a small, bat-shaped tracking device blinking on his shoulder.
"…Handy…" Danny commented as he handed the tracking device to Batman. The Dark Knight was starting to scare him. "Well, time for me to go home. Don't want the people to worry."
"Wait," Batman said as Danny was about to fly away. Danny looked at him, confused. "Thanks for your help."
Danny stared at Batman with a surprised look before he grinned.
"That's what teammates are for, right?" he said as he waved at them before flying away.
The two heroes watched Danny fly away, disappearing into the horizon. Batman started walking to the Batwing, getting on the driver seat.
"Can I have a ride?" Wonder Woman asked to Batman, looking at the Batwing.
Batman looked at Wonder Woman before turning his head. Wonder Woman took that as a yes as she walked towards the Batwing, climbing on the passenger seat. The Batwing flew across the clear sky.
Guys in White…
Agents K and O were standing in front of the general's desk, their white suit torn and dirtied.
"So, not only did you let two ghosts escape, you got your suits dirty," the general spat, glaring at the two agents.
"It wasn't our fault, sir!" Agent K exclaimed, sweating.
"It was those heroes' fault!" Agent O shouted. "They actually believe that piece of scum!"
"Well, it doesn't matter," the general said as he pulled out a large file. "Because once we complete this project, those heroes won't be a problem."
He opened the file to reveal a blueprint of a metal armor with the words 'Phantom Control'.
Batcave…
Batman was looking at the reports and criminal records of Danny Phantom in his Batcomputer. After a few minutes of looking at it, he started typing on his computer, hacking the Guys in White's secret files. After a few seconds, he was looking at the GiW logo.
Batman narrowed his eyes as he started looking through the files.
