I passed out, leaving the couple to tend to their wounds as Johnny's shadow drove them to safety on its masters bike. And for me...to end this nightmarish reign of the demon ghost...time to confront...the Phantom
Why is it temptation exists? Is it to test our wills? To see if we got what it takes to not give in? When these powers emerged from me, I didn't know how to react. I didn't know if the right thing was to just try and live a normal life or fight all the ghosts that were coming through the portal. That decision was taken from my hands when the Box Ghost appeared, and do I regret it? No...not at all.
I opened my toxic green eyes,only to see crimson blood glaring straight back at me. I was currently in a hole shaped like my body with silver flames encircling around me and the figure gripping at my neck as if it was a kink. Bruises and scratches littered my body, with tears in my suit visible for no one but my other half to see.
"Finally back are we?" I heard him say. It appears that my push for control has made him quite the enraged flame, because he was not amused at all. "You may have won this little battle, but as soon as I make you submit again, I'll be free."
However, his eyes widened as he doubled over in pain as I kicked him in the solar plexus with both of my legs. "Damn do you ever shut up!" I release myself from his loosened grip, and followed up my kick with a left hook to the head. My counterpart flew a couple of feet, his fire that was once surrounding the area now extinguished because his mental control was lost. "I can't believe you're apart of me! What kind of sick psychopath would brutally maime ghosts just to get a point across."
I continue on forward as he looked up at me with the same amused glint from before. "Why you of course!" Now only two feet away I stopped and listened. "Oh please don't play that hero card on me. Who was the one who brutally maimed Spectra?" Before I could respond, he beat me to it.
"Don't even say me." He said with a firm glare, as he continued to look into my soul. "You're the one who lost control, you're the one who decided to give me control. But now things are different, just because you think nothing is your fault."
"That's because nothing is my faul-"
"Don't give me that bullshit." He stood up as I got into my fighting stance. He walked up and stood only a foot away from me. "You're the one who made me. I should know who's fault it really is."
It was my turn for my eyes to widened as a flame engulfed fist sent me through windows and walls of the imaginary city of Amity Park. I could feel my wounds healing as if they would in the real world, but something was off. 'What did he mean by I made him?'
Before I could think anymore, I projected an ecto-shield as a huge flaming silver ball came through the roof, blowing everything up in the process. "You think you're so high and mighty now." I see the red eyes through the flame once again. "But you don't even know power."
I closed my eyes as I began to focus more and more intro the shield, but it was an uphill battle.
BANG
BANG
BANG
I could physically hear the shield cracking as shockwaves were made when his fist collided with the surface. 'I can do this!'
BANG
BANG
BANG
I focused more and more energy, all the energy I could muster. The shield began reforming, crack disappearing.
BANG
Bang
Bang
I opened my eyes revealing to me that no one was in front of me. 'Where did h- OH SHIT' Soon the entire shield collapsed as it was shattered from behind me by two hands which grabbed me by my shoulders and threw me to the street. "You know, a few hours ago I'd be impressed with your tenacity, but then again the longer I'm here…" His arm began to glow with red energy. "The stronger I become."
I somersaulted out of the way, as a red ray of death beamed at the position I was at. Charging my arms with my own green energy I fired back at my counterpart, hoping to catch him by surpri-
"Surprise? Really? If you really think that then you really are naive." I heard him say as he batted away my rays as if they were just a nuisance. I hear his footsteps coming closer and closer, so I decide on the one thing I could think of. Giving the entire ray all I have.
'Poor fool' I thought with a smirk.
My eyes widened as I heard his thought ring out through my head. 'Oh no, don't stop now. That'll just make it worse.' Calming my nerves, I jump out of the corner and began focusing all I had into the ray, hoping that it would change into the usual red I've been seeing as my strongest rays. But to my shock, it was the usual green still.
I began pushing through, walking through the wave as if it were nothing. "You know this has got to be the most cutest thing we've ever seen!" I smirked to myself as I see myself struggle. However, something in him seemed to change drastically, his green eyes began to glow blue on the outside. 'What the he-'
"ARGHHHH"
Phantom was blown back as something in me snapped. Everything around me seemed to be colder, as I focused more and more with what little energy I had left. I felt a surge through my body, a fresh cold feeling. I look down and saw that my ecto-ray was now glacial blue. Looking up I now see my counterpart staring down at me with a furious look as he was frozen in a solid block of ice. Only one thing passed through my head.
"I guess this case is now on ice." I said with a chuckle, until I heard the ice beginning to break; as fire seeped out of the cracks, furthering the process of melting the ice. "RAHHHHHH" I raise my hands once again to make an ecto-shield, but this time, a wall of ice appears. "What the hell?"
I look towards Daniel with hatred in my eyes. 'I can't believe I was just humiliated by this child.' I engulf my fist with flames as I slammed it into the ice, only for it to crack a little. "Impossible." I stood there with wide eyes as my counterpart looked at me with a incredulous look on his face.
I smiled as I felt the cold energy surged within me once again. Now taking this from the movie that I'm pretty sure we both watched. His eyes widened as the words left my lips.
"My turn."
He was soon hit by a tsunami of ice, that encompassed all around him in a glacial prison. 'This has never happened before! SO WHY NOW!' I began to see flames begin to crack the glacial prison once again, so I began to focus more and more energy into it, only for the most horrific thing to happen.
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM
Out from the fire stood Phantom in a whole new body. He had a muscular look like a jock at my school, he now had a silver cape on that adorned his new suit which was now black with grey highlights. His teeth now more elongated like a certain vampire looking asshole Godfather of mine, and most of all, he had a goatee!
I look down at my hands and clenched them as a smirk made its way to my face. "Oh ho ho, you are so screwed now…" I look up to still see a joking look at Daniel's face. "You're going to regret everything you just did now."
"Doubt it."
Charging up my fist with blue energy/silver fire I looked at him with the same look as before.
"You ready for the fight of your after life?"
"You ready to join me?"
We flew to the middle, our fists colliding causing a mega shockwave to reverberate through the imaginary Amity Park. Cracks appeared on the floor underneath as buildings windows began to shatter from the intense battle. No punches were pulled or miss as we traded blow for blow.
LEFT! I could feel his puny human skull crack between my knuckles
RIGHT! My fist connected with his side as he let out a labored breath.
LEFT! I threw a hook into his stomach which he absorbed as he got ready his elbow.
RIGHT! I threw my elbow down, hitting him directly in the back causing him to go straight into the ground beneath me.
Just as he raised his leg, I sent a ray of glacial energy at him, causing his leg to freeze up.
"ARGH, YOU ARE A PEST!"
"Haven't heard that one before." I said as I rolled out of the way of his stomp which leveled a building nearby with its shockwave. I get up as soon as I can, only to double over in pain as he planted his fist into my solar plexus.
I began gasping for air, as he smirked in victory only for his eyes to widen as he was forced to gasp for air also. The reason being that my left fist was dug into solar plexus. We looked each other in the eyes and with one final glare to each other, we raised our right fists at the same time, and hit the other in the jaw, finally making us collapse in exhaustion.
"This it" I thought as I struggled to get up, pain flaring up from everywhere.
However fate seemed to not shine down upon me that day…
I slowly stood as I looked down at the person below me. The battered bruised and defeated evil me. My Phantom...I look down at my hand which was still clenched in a fist, blue and green energy flickering if you look closely.
"DO IT!" My head turned once again to Phantom who appeared enraged once more, but this time had no energy to do what he wanted. "DO WHAT VLAD ALWAYS WANTED YOU TO DO, BE HIS SON AND ERASE ME!" My hand that was once clenched, finally let go of everything.
All the pain and humility. All the betrayal and trust issues. No...it was time for something new…
With my now unclenched hand I raise it towards Phantom who was angry moments before, was now just confused. "E-erase me…" His voice now quiet, his form reverting back to a state similar to mine.
I looked at him with sadness and regret in my eyes as I realize who my Phantom really was. A sad but hopeful smile appeared on my face as I uttered the words that I knew was right. "Let it go Danny…" Phantom looked at me with a sad look as he looked down, tears beginning to stream down his face. "C'mon, let's finish this." Phantom gripped my hand with his.
"O-okay..." The white rings we've come to know, appeared revealing our true colors. I came back looking just as I did before the experiment with Vlad, black spiky hair, black clothing and a black hoodie with a Blue flame. And right in front of me…
...was ten year old Danny Fenton, still clutching on to his plushie bear that his big sister gave to him for his birthday.
AND THAT CONCLUDES CHAPTER 15! I had a fucking blast writing this chapter, I literally had last minute thoughts on the finale of this chapter, and I must say I outdid myself lol. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, don't forget to leave comments, thoughts, and suggestions! BTW SORRY FOR SUCH A DELAY I GOT SICK.
REVIEWS:
Jay The Average Fanboy: Alright since I completed this chapter I can now fully answer your question. Danny's demonic form is essentially like bruce banner to the incredible hulk. He activated it when all his fears, faults, and trauma all combined and manifested into one emotion. Rage. He was manifested, but not released yet during the accident. BTW amazing review my guy, lifted my spirits ten fold. (no pun intended)
SonicMax: LOL this review hella got me down when I first saw it, it really made me rethink the entire story. But anyways, Ember will be making her first appearance soon as a cameo, but this cameo will highly affect her. Digressing even further, the story is an entire retake on the Danny Phantom Universe, so I'm sorry…? However if you'd like to tell me where you're loss, that'd be great, so I can fix my mistake and see how to make the story flow better.
He23t: Too bad the next ghost was himself XD
