*Tuesday Fenton Works*
"...G..ou...of…"
".Ge...out...my...hou.."
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" I was awoken from my deep slumber by the yelling of my dad. "YOU NEVER LOVED ME YOU ASS HAT!" I heard my mom's voice yell back. My eyes slowly opened and adjusted to the darkness of my room. I turned on my phone to check the time, only to instantly close them because of how bright the light was. Slowly opening them back up, I saw the time 3:00 am. 'Ironic' I thought as a loud noise of glass breaking caught my attention.
"What the actual fuck are they doing down there?!" I yelled from my room. Quickly opening my door and speeding down stairs, I come upon the scene of my mom holding the living room's lamp which was now shattered beyond belief and my dad on the floor holding his now bleeding head disoriented.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" I shouted as I angrily glared at my mom who had a victorious smirk on her face.
"I taught your father a lesson." she replied haughtily "That's what he gets for cheating on me again."
'He didn't...not again...' my eyes began to water out of frustration. 'He couldn't have...I don't… believe it...' I bowed my head so my naturally long spiky hair covered my eyes, little did I know that my eyes flickered from toxic green back to ocean blue. 'Why does this have to be my life...why can't it be normal?'
"WHY CAN'T I BE NORMAL!?" My eyes shot up and openly glared at my Mom. She looked surprised when I charged at her and tackled her. I began to wail on her: Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Ri- my hand was stopped when my dad had the angriest look on his face. I never seen him like this befo-
SLAP
I couldn't believe my dadjust did that., as I was thrown across the floor. Tears were now freely falling from my eyes, feeling the stinging sensation that was now resonating from my cheek. "I w-was tr-trying to help you!" I tried to explain, but still shocked beyond comprehension.
My father looked at me with uncontained fury and disappointment.
"Don't hit your mother!...she was right...you are a lost cause." My eyes widened as my dad reeled back his fist preparing to punch me until…..
RING RING RING RINNNGGGGG
My eyes shot open as I forced my body into a sitting upright position. Gasp...gasp….gasp…
I struggled for air as I hyperventilated. Gasp...gasp… my brain was finally catching up, and my nerves were slowly calming down. Gasp… "I'm okay...it was just a dream...a very...VERY bad dream."
I looked at my window to see it was still night out. Reaching for my phone I prepared myself for the light rays and turned it on. It read 3:00 am. Fearing the worst, I carefully listened to hear any yelling or any form of argument running through the house.
...
…
…
Nothing...nothing but silence, but to just ensure it, I became invisible and intangible to phase downstairs. Luckily though, I saw nothing broken, the lamp was in the same spot, and my parents were passed out on the couch with a bowl of popcorn near them. Apparently they made up as I recalled yesterday's events of how mom was mad at dad. 'Phew...just a dream...just a dream…" I thought with a relieved smile. Heading back to my room and turning normal. "Let there be light." I said while flipping on the light switch.
'Might as well get an early start' I thought to myself while heading to the shower. Quickly, not more than 10 minutes later, the great pathetic emo loner Fenton has returned. Heading to my closet I began looking for my favorite hoodie. I had discarded the hoodie earlier, so I wouldn't damage it when doing all my ghostly things; but now knowing that my clothes can be intangible, it didn't matter. 'Where the..AH HA!' I thought as I pulled out a black hoodie that had a blue flaming ball at the back with a small blue flame at the left chest area. For some odd reason….it called to me….Anyways I pulled it on with some black pants and socks. Hurryingly tying my black converse, I looked into the mirror. "Still me…" I said with a somewhat happy tone.
I wanted to turn into my "other self" and looked into the mirror. As expected the white rings appear and left quickly, revealing a black hazmat suit with white gloves and white boots, but let's not forget the icing on the cake...my snow white hair and glowing green eyes.
"Gotta admit...I'm pretty badass." I say chuckling while checking myself out. "Alright yesterday I was normal and I couldn't fly, but I could float. However, since I'm in my uh...ghost form...maybe I can fly…."
With a look of determination I imagined myself floating in to the air and instantaneously I began to lift albeit slowly. I then thought of moving towards the window and slowly but surely, I floated towards it. "Haha I'm doing it!"
Once I reached the window, I floated through it and saw the pavement where I almost fell to my mortal doom. 'Huh descend?' I thought and saw that I was moving slowly towards the pavement, but when I thought of 'Ascend', I began lifting.
"Alright...now the hard part." I looked towards open sky as I thought of floating but faster...okay way faster.
My eyes widened as my legs began to morph into a snake like tail, and I was flying fast in the direction I wanted to...WAIT I FLEW. A bigger smile appeared on my face as my eyes widened with recognition. One of my dreams was to be an astronaut, and if I never became it, that was fine as long as I...could...FLY. Not even thinking about it, flying was pretty easy, which is why I'm in the clouds. (literally)
"THIS IS INCREDIBLE!" As I descended fast towards the ground, and thought of walking. Huge mistake, because as soon as I did, the speed quickly decreased giving something akin to whiplash, causing me to tumble and fall onto a bush nearby in a park. "Ow..ow...OW" I said feeling pain everywhere. Slowly standing, I brushed myself down after getting up while also seeing that I had no scratches or scrapes. 'Thank you ghost powers.' but as soon as I said that, I saw my blue condense breath and felt the feeling in my head again.
'Okay Spider-man has a spider-sense that warns him of danger...when the Box Ghost came out of the portal my breath condensed and faced me towards him...so a ghost-sense?' Ah what the hell they didn't copyright the word "sense". Now following the nudging feeling, I turned to see a badass metal skeleton who had FLAMING HAIR, 'I WANT FLAMING HAIR THAT'S SO BADASS!'
Flying up to him I said the one word that came to mind…"AWESOME!" The metal skeleton in turned jumped a little, turning to me with a startled and annoyed look.
"What do you want ghost child, can't you see I'm hunting?"
"Are those real weapons?" I ask with stars in my eyes, which then drifted towards his back to see a "JETPACK!" The skeleton ghost seemed amused at my antics, as I examined his equipment.
"Why yes these are real...would you like to see all of my weaponry?" I nodded feverishly, excited beyond belief. 'maybe all ghosts weren't evil' I thought to myself.
Smirking the skeleton then pulled out two blasters from holsters on his back as his jet pack deployed its wings. His waist then deployed two laser looking weapons, while the jet pack furthered unraveled itself revealing missiles. "Witness the greatness of the Greatest Ghost Hunter SKULKER!" My eyes never had seen so much badassness in one area.
"AMAZING!" I exclaimed as I looked down every piece of weaponry. Skulker then explained how he hunted every unique ghost and animal out in the world, and has yet to come across a thing he couldn't hunt successfully. 'Maybe he knows if something like me exists?'
"Hey Skulker?" hearing his name he looks towards me. "Have you ever seen a half ghost, half human hybrid?
"No I've never heard of anything like that...such a thing sounds really unique." as he narrowed his eyes. "Wait...you're one of them, aren't you?" He said with a calm voice that made me feel uneasy.
"Uhhh…no…." I said with the most unconfident voice ever. His eyes gleamed as he put away most of his weapons, only keeping one blaster from his holster and deploying his jetpack. I began to sweat…"I should run now huh?" He gave a predatory grin in response
"AHHHHHHH"
I never flew this fast in my entire life! As I dodged yet another blast from his weapon. "There's nowhere to run now Ghost Child! Anywhere you go, I'll find you and pelt you like the unique ghost you are!" I've been run..flying away for about a good twenty minutes now, and since this is my first day flying, I'm getting pretty tired.
'I have to fight back! I thought as another blast rocketed pass me. Quickly turning around while still flying 'Huh didn't know I could fly without looking', I aimed one hand at skulker as it glowed with green energy like before. 'PLEASE WORK' A ball of ecto-energy was then shot from my hand which sped towards the hunter. I saw his eyes widened as he was forced to move out of the way.
'My opening!' I thought as I flew towards him superman style. My flying was becoming slower and slower, realizing that this would probably be my last flying period for today, I reeled my fist back and as soon as his face looked up in surprise, I released my punch with all the force it had.
BOOOOOOOM/SHRRRRIIIIINNGGGG/CRACKKKKKK
I looked at surprise at my now broken hand and the now headless destroyed body of Skulker that was blowing up like fireworks. Looking back at my hand, my mind finally caught up with what happened and boy oh boy, there was only one expression that could express my feelings right now.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK" I exclaimed as I cradled my hand that was leaking green juices. I examined the damage done with a pained face. Bone was jutting out of my wrist where you can see it snapped...My fingers were all unaligned and twisted...the skin on my knuckles were scraped off clean, showing the bone underneath.
"AHHHHH" I released another wail of pain as I felt my entire broken hand shifting. Looking on with a tearful expression, I see the bones being pushed back into place as green juice...ghost blood...ectoplasm glowed at the wound. It took only Forty-five minutes to shift everything in place, now my hand was still glowing with green energy, but instead of it feeling broken, it felt like I only bruised it badly.
Flinching at the slight pain in my hand, I looked back at the destroyed suit of skulker sadly. 'He was so cool…' I then hear a slight slight squeaking noise coming from below and lo and behold, it's Skulkers head that I punched clean off. Floating down to it, I picked up the now decapitated head in my hands and see that the eyes were now turned off and the fire hair was out, but when I peeked through the eye holes, there was a small green ghost ranting about how great his revenge would be.
I was about to punch the casing open, but then realized my hand was still badly hurt, so I looked for a release hatch. Fumbling around for a bit I found a small button that split the head in two and released pressurized air. With the fog gone, a small lime-green ghost that really resembled a giant booger came out.
'This was the badass hunter that I just fought? He doesn't even reach my ankles!' I thought as I grabbed his tiny legs from right under him as he cursed more, saying that he'll capture me and pelt my skin. 'Yeahhh...no.' I thought as I tossed him in the air where I caught him in my good hand.
"Not so high and mighty now, are ya?" I said with a smug grin on my face...that's when everything went blank.
"JUST YOU WAIT GHOST CHILD, I'LL GET A NEW SUIT AND RIP YOUR ASS IN T- " He was cut off by the tightening of my hand that didn't stop...it only got tighter...tighter...and tighter...His eyes widened as he saw my eyes glowing an eerie red with a blank expression of my face. He began to struggle...but there was no way out...just a little longer and he'll…
My mind rebooted itself and I saw what I was doing. Eyes widening with response I loosened my grip to see him barely holding on and unconscious. "What the fuck did I just do?" I began to feel sick...I was about...I was gonna...can you even...kill a ghost?
I shook my head to make the dark thoughts go away. "I don't want to know" I said out loud, while attempting to ascend so I could get back to the portal and throw him back in...only to fall back down and land on my face. "FUCK MY FACE"
'I used up to much energy fighting off Skulker...hopefully it recovers soon, I kinda have sch- ' My thought cut off as I passed out on the roof with Skulker still in my hand. The white rings appeared around me as it reverted me back to my human form, but I didn't know that, I was kinda passed out.
*Some time Later*
I woke up to see the sun shining and skulker missing from the palm of my hand…"Go figure" I sighed out as I picked myself up from the "comfortable" rock hard surface that was the roof. "Now he knows I exist and if he does get a new suit, I'm in for another fight…" Sighing once again I looked at my hand which was...healed only just slightly purple because of bruising. "Huh...Thank you once again Ghost Powers." I said with a smile.
Embracing my inner child I thought of what to do with this new ghostly form I had…'I could be a superhero! Protect everyone from ghosts!'
…
…
…
"HAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed out loudly, superheroes don't exist. However if there are ghosts in the future that attempt to harm anyone…"I guess i have to…" I mumbled lowly. As I got ready to change into my ghost form, in order to fly back to my house before school starts to take a much needed bath, I thought of something hilarious if I were to say it every time I went into my ghost form.
"I'M GOING GHOST!"
*Somewhere in the Ghost zone.*
A humanoid blue cloaked figure could be seen floating in the halls of a ghostly giant clock reminiscent to Big Ben in London. Looking now at the screen in front of him, we seem him looking at Daniel Phantom when he was squeezing Skulker in his hand. However more specifically, when his eyes briefly were red. "Well...this is an interesting development." he says with a monotone voice as his body shift to the size of a toddler.
"I'M GOING GHOST!"
Hearing the famous catch phrase fly out of the young phantom's mouth, he couldn't help but smile a little. 'It's not time yet young Phantom don't worry...you have all the time in the world' as he turns around revealing red eyes with watches on his wrist and a grandfather clock in his chest. 'I'll make sure of it.'
And That concludes chapter 4! Don't forget to leave suggestions on what you may like to see, or just comments on what could be worked on or what worked. Thank you all for reading. Phantom of the Future Out.
