AN: To all those who have suggested me songs for my fanfiction I thank you greatly cause you showed me some really good ones to add to my Danny Phantom playlist that fit him and Danielle really well. I have so many that I like I might not be able to use them all though I will try if not I might end up using them in a squeal for this fic not sure yet. Also I'm sorry for how badly written this chapter is I've never wrote a story with a song in it so I tried to tie in Danny's feelings with the lyric but I think I epically failed on that. DX I also thought of describing it like a music video and all the emotional stuff explained in the end but when I started writing the chapter with the song on repeat I just couldn't do it. So anyone who has suggestions on how to format the chapters easier so that it flows better I'll be happy to listen.
Chapter 2: Hero
The lights dimmed to where you could only see Danny with his guitar and Danielle right next to him adjusting her own guitar. Suddenly the light went out as Danny began to play then followed by the rest. A spot light hit the crystal orbs dying the stage an eerie purple as the music got louder as Danny swayed to the music as he began to singing. Danny's eyes unfocused his mind replaying times where we felt it wasn't worth being a hero wanting to get rid of his powers his responsibility. (Danny Singing Danielle singing both)
I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losin' my faith today
(Fallin' off the edge today)
His parents being disappointed in him whenever he came home late or with a bad grade, him skipping school, not finishing homework, not studying at all because of his ghost hunting. His teachers criticizing him, his classmates relentless taunting and teasing, Valerie blaming him for ruining her life, the town turning him into public enemy number one.
I am just a man
Not superhuman
(I'm not superhuman)
Someone save me from the hate!
Hi eyes flashed green as he sang the line his want for the town, for his parents, and Valerie to stop hating him clearly heard but not understood by his hidden audience. His parents looked on confused as to why their son looked so sad.
It's just another war
Just another family torn
Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live
Danny sang his frustration in not being able to live in peace. Of having to always fight against the ghosts to keep the town safe even though it's ruining his family life. Him lying to his parents all the time, Jazz having to cover for him, not being able to do things with his parents in fear of not being able to get away in case of a ghost attack, or them finding out his secret.
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero'll save me (just in time)
He sang his plea his need for someone to help him, to keep him living this chaotic life even when he wants to just give up. Everyone only looked on not comprehending why he looked like he was struggling against himself.
I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Speakin' my mind today
(My voice will be heard today)
His eyes sharpened his resolved hardened cause he knew that even if he had no one to help him he still had himself to rely on.
I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
(I'm not superhuman)
My voice will be heard today
Even though he knew the ghost listening to him didn't care, he still sang to make his feelings heard if not to them, to himself to acknowledge them. But he wasn't the only one hearing them his family, friends and fellow students also heard.
It's just another war
Just another family torn
(My voice will be heard today)
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero (save me now)
I need a hero to save my life
A hero'll save me (just in time)
I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time
Then suddenly two bright rings of light appeared around him and slowly traveled up and down his body. His outfit and appearance changed he was no longer Fenton but Phantom. His audience gasped in surprise and shock everyone was stunned especially his family and friends and a few classmates.
Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive
We're in the fight of our lives
(And we're not ready to die)
Dani also let her tight hold on her powers go her whole body giving off an otherworldly light signaling she wasn't totally human. Both Phantoms' eyes glowing bright showing their resolve to fight even if no one ever appreciated them.
Who's gonna fight for the weak
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I've got a hero (I've got a hero)
Livin' in me
I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
(I will be ready to die)
Those secretly watching the two halfas perform were startled at the seriousness and sincerity that they showed as they sang the last two lines. But they recognized why they were so accepting, considering they have seen some brutal fights that Danny had fought in especially Valerie, who at that moment was feeling very guilty. All the while the Fentons could only look, on sadness and pain clearly in their eyes as they remembered the wounds that they themselves inflicted on their son.
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time
Two halfa's continued to sing with all their heart pouring the as much feeling in to the last of the lyrics their aura's growing brighter as the song dragged to a close.
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero (save me now)
I need a hero to save my life
A hero'll save me (just in time)
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for the weak
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I need a hero
I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in TIME!
The ghost gave a cheer most impressed by the fact that Phantom could sing as well as write some good songs. The two performers bowed already feeling lighter from releasing all that stress and tension especially Danny as he had a broad grin on his face. At least he did until he saw some figures step out of the tree's shadows showing that his parents, sister, friends, the A-list and some students had just watched him preform.
His whole face had turn whiter than even a ghost could have and Dani, who was beside him, gasped in surprise. All the while Danny hoping that they hadn't been there in the middle of his performance to witness his transformation only to have that hope crushed into itty bitty tiny little piece by his mother.
"Danny is that really you?" tears already gathering in her eyes as her son stared at her with wide eyes before he finally was able to find voice.
"Yeah mom its me."
