"So Danny, you and your little friends want to hunt dragons." Said Jack Fenton.
Jack was standing in front of Danny, Sam, and Tucker, who were sitting in plastic chairs next to each other in the lab.
"Um...actually dad..I want to be an astronaut." Said Danny.
"Sorry mister Fenton, dragons are so mainstream now, they're like cellphones." Sam replied, her arms and legs crossed, looking genuinely disinterested.
"Waste these looks and this charisma hunting dragons? Criminal." Tucker said.
"Well if you do want to hunt dragons there are a few things you'll need to learn." Stated Jack as he turned around and grabbed some beakers from a table.
Danny gasped as a blue mist escaped his mouth. His eyes widened and he looked towards the portal. "Oh no, this isn't good."
Suddenly the portal doors opened and out came two snarling Gronckles. The dragons flew over and grabbed Sam and Tucker, who had been staring at them in shock.
"True I've never seen a dragon, but when I do I'll be prepared, and so will you, whether you wanna be or not." Jack said, completely oblivious to the two dragons that had just grabbed Tucker and Sam, and were currently hovering in the air behind him, holding the two in their claws.
Danny looked at his dad and then back at the dragons holding his two best friends in horror. He knew what he had to do, he just hoped his dad was too oblivious to catch him in the act.
With a determined look, he leapt into action, followed by a flash of purple flames.
Jack, who was still completely unaware of the fight ensuing behind him, grabbed a silver cylindrical device. "It all starts with your equipment."
In the midst of the chaos and fighting the two Gronckles dropped Sam and Tucker back in their chairs, just as Jack came over to them.
"Sam, Tucker, this is the Fenton thermos." Jack handed Sam the thermos, as she sat there gaping.
"It's supposed to trap dragons," Jack said then turned around and went back to the table full of beakers, as more fighting commenced behind him. "but since it doesn't work yet it's just a thermos, a thermos with the word 'Fenton' in front of it!"
The two Gronckles flew back over to the portal, beaten and exhausted, then dived back into the dragon world.
The portal doors closed as there was another flash of purple flames. Danny stood in front of the portal, still in a fighting stance as he glared at it. But only for a second as he saw his dad was turning around. He looked in his dad's direction in horror for a split second before diving out of his field of vision, not that Jack was really paying attention to anything going on around him anyway.
Jack walked up in front of the portal. "And that? That is the Fenton portal." Jack said grinning pridefully and pointing at it. "It releases dragons into our world whether I want it to or not." he said knocking on the metal. "And some day, I'll figure out how that works too."
Jack turned his attention back to the kids. "Now, who wants to hunt some dragons?" He asked enthusiastically, walking up to them.
Tucker and Sam were shaking in their seats after almost becoming a dragon's lunch as Danny came up and put his hand on the back of Tucker's chair, hunched over and panting.
"Look at you kids, your too excited to speak! So I'll just go on speaking. I was born many years ago in a log cabin in the woods..." As Jack continued on about his childhood and how he always wanted a pony and eating horse meat, Danny and his friends stared at each other wide eyed, before he let his head drop from exhaustion and embarrassment.
-insert epic theme song here-
lt was lunch time at Casper High and students were lined up in the cafeteria with their lunch trays awaiting whatever it was they would be forced to eat that day. As each student came up to the lunch lady they were met by what could only be described as grass on a bun.
"What is this? Grass on a bun?" Danny said as he stared his supposed lunch.
Tucker, who was in line between Danny and Sam, grabbed Sam's arm and yelled dramatically "What have you done?!"
Sam merely smirked while holding up a grass bun. "Tucker, it's time for a change."
The three took their trays of turf and sat down at a lunch table. Danny looked at his tray full of grass and mud in disgust, he was pretty sure he saw a worm crawling in there.
"Don't you think this is a little extreme Sam?" He asked as he picked up a fork full of mud.
Before Sam could answer Mr. Lancer appeared behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Ah, miss Manson. The school board wanted me to personally thank you for ushering in this welcome experiment to our school's cafeteria." He said, smiling at her.
Tucker sniffed the air, looking anxious. "Meat. Near." He then sniffed Mr. Lancer and glared at him. Mr. Lancer in turn put his hands up in defense and gave the boy a nervous look as he spoke. "No no, the rumors about the all steak buffet in the teachers lounge are completely untrue." He said as he pulled out a tooth pick.
Mr. Lancer smiled at Sam with the tooth pick in his mouth and patted her on the back. "Thanks again." She smiled back as he walked away.
"Yeah, thanks again for making us eat garbage Sam." Tucker said giving her an annoyed look.
"It's not garbage. It's recyclable organic matter." She retorted.
"It's garbage." Her two best friends said in usion while glaring at her.
Danny suddenly gasped as a blue mist escaped his mouth. "Uhh, guys, I've got a problem." He said nervously. Then a large ball of mud crashed into the back of his head.
"FENTON!"
"Make that two problems."
Danny turned his head to see Dash stalking towards him holding a plate of dirt clump surprise.
"I asked for three mud pies, d'ya know what they gave me? Three mud pies! With mud! From the ground! All because of your girlfriend!" Dash growled.
"She's not my girlfriend!"
"I'm not his girlfriend!"
Dash reached over and grabbed Danny by the front of his shirt and pulled him up, face to face with the jock.
"These are the best years of my life! After high school it's all down hill for me! How am I supposed to enjoy my glory days eating mud?!" Dash yelled in Danny's face.
"Actually it's top soil." Sam corrected the bully, looking highly unamused.
"Whatever!" Dash threw Danny back on the table, then walked up to him with the plate of literal mud pies in his hand.
"Eat it. All of it." With that Dash set the plate in front of Danny. Everyone had now gathered around the table to see what would happen next. Would he actually do it, or would he chicken out?
Danny looked at the plate of mud, dirt, and grass, and then back at all the people staring at him. He then reluctantly picked up a spoon full of mud pie and slowly brought it to his mouth.
He was just about to take a bite when suddenly his dragon sense went off again.
Two seconds later pure chaos burst through the cafeteria doors. Everyone began panicking, running and screaming as a large red dragon came running in.
Danny, Sam, and Tucker just stayed standing where they were as they watched in shock as the creature knocked over tables, climbed up walls, and terrorized students as they tried to run to the nearest exit.
The trio had never seen a dragon outside of Danny's house, and they had certainly never seen one like this one before. It was bigger, and had a long neck and a big head with a long gator like snout filled with long, sharp teeth. It had long horns on its head and a long snake like tail. Long sharp frill like spines went down its neck and back all the way to the tip of it's tail.
They suddenly realized that the dragon had trapped a couple of students in a corner of the cafeteria behind a flipped over lunch table. The teens coward in fear behind the table as the dragon stood up and raised its wings.
"Um, don't you think we should do something?" Sam asked as she watched the scene unfold.
"We?" The boys asked in return.
"Yeah we. We're the only ones who can stop that thing!" Sam exclaimed.
"Says who?" Tucker asked scepticaly.
"Says me. We're the only ones in town who have delt with dragons before. Also Danny can turn into a dragon and he can communicate with them, so at least he's got a better chance going up against one than anyone else." Replied Sam.
"I don't know Sam, I mean, I've never fought a dragon like that one before!" Danny said, uncertainty clear in his voice.
"But that doesn't mean you can't try! Somebody's gotta save those people, and if we don't, who will?" Sam insisted.
The dragon used it's hook like talons on it's wings to grab the edge of the table and pull it out, exposing the two teenagers from their hiding place. They screamed as the creature looked at them with a sinister expression and-thunk!
Growl in annoyance at whoever just hit him in the back of the head with a milk carton.
The dragon looked at the three behind him and all but forgot about his prey as he walked up to them looking quite annoyed while the other two teenagers made a run for the doors.
"Can I help you?" He sneered.
The trio backed up slightly as the large red dragon came up to them, looking none too pleased at Sam's way of getting it's attention. They looked at it a little fearfully as it glowered over them.
"So, uh, what now?" Said Tucker, his voice wavering a little.
"Maybe we could try reasoning with it?" Sam suggested. "..So..um...hi there, mister..dragon...um, we were just wondering, why you're attacking our school?" She asked the large creature as nicely as possible.
"I am here in search of the greatest tasting meat of all time! You see, as a young hatchling I heard tale of a place in another world where the meat tasted better than anything known to dragon kind. This so called mystery meat is said to be so good it could bring a grown Nightmare to tears! I have made it my life's work to find it. So imagine my surprise when I come here, to this promised land of meat and find th-this!" The dragon referred to the room full of vegetables in distaste.
"I must know, who is responsible for this abomination!" He snarled.
"..What is it saying?" Tucker whispered in Danny's ear.
"He wants to know who took the meat away." Danny replied.
"Oh...she did." Tucker stated bluntly while pointing at Sam.
Sam's eyes widened as the dragon turned its anger on her. The creature glared at her in fury and roared in anger while it's body burst into flames. "How dare you take away the most precious of all the meats!"
The trio froze up in fear at the dragon's sudden outburst. "Now, tell me where it is, or face my wrath!"
"We-we don't know where the meat is, h-how about a nice Greek salad instead?" Said Danny as the three teenagers slowly backed away.
The angry dragon released a stream of fire from its mouth, the trio diving out of the way before becoming toast.
They stood up as the creature growled at them and their evasive maneuver. "Get behind me!" Danny shouted, sounding just about as confident as he felt.
"Well, I feel safe." Sam deadpaned as she stood behind him, referring to her friend's skinny arm.
"I'm..uh..going to become dragon-y?!" Bellowed Danny.
"We really need to work on a better catchphrase." Said Tucker.
Danny raised up his arms as his body was consumed with purple flames. When the flames dispersed a medium sized, jet black dragon stood in his place.
The larger red dragon looked a little surprised at the boy's sudden transformation. Danny, in a false act of bravado, walked up to the dragon. "I,uh..command you to..go away!" Once again sounding just as confident as he felt.
The creature didn't by his attempt at a dominant standing what so ever. "I'm not leaving here until I find that meat!" The dragon roared, then fired at Danny.
Danny leapt out of the way and onto a table with cat like agility. The red dragon turned and fired at him again. This time he jumped off the table and ran into the kitchen.
Sam and Tucker watched as the larger red dragon went after their friend. The two looked at each other. "We should probably follow them, right?" Tucker asked.
Back in the kitchen the two dragons were in a face off. The larger dragon glowered at his opponent and used his long snake like tail to send a stack of plates flying right at the smaller black dragon.
The plates were coming at him fast. Danny ducked, covering his head and squeezing his eyes shut as the plates zipped over him and crashed into the wall.
He got up, looked behind him, and then glanced over himself. He smiled a little at the fact that he was unharmed, but his smile quickly faded when he saw another wave of plates headed directly towards his two best friends, who were standing in the doorway.
With incredible speed and grace he ran in front of them and caught every single plate, using his back, wings, tail, mouth, he even caught some in his paw.
For a moment he stood there, balancing all the plates like a circus performer. Tucker, who stood merely a few inches from his friend's face smiled at him, impressed.
Danny, ever so slowly and carefully made his way over to the counter and carefully slid the plates back onto the counter tops. He picked up the last plate and looked at it, seeing his scaly reflection in the pristine dish. "Well, if this hero thing doesn't work out I could have an exciting career as a buss boy."
His reflection wasn't all he saw. It was then that he caught a glimpse in the reflection of the plate of what was taking place behind him. The other dragon was hovering over his friends, it's body alight with fire.
Danny put down the plate and looked behind him at the flaming creature. The red hot dragon growled at the two teens below it. "I must find that meat! Where is it?!"
The two just stared at him in fear.
"...You won't tell me, FINE! Maybe turning up the heat will change your minds!" The large creature roared and released a stream of fire at them.
Tucker and Sam quickly moved out of the way of fire and ran across the kitchen as the dragon continued to fire at them.
Danny watched as flames shot past him. His friends had reached a dead end at the wall and were currently backed up against it as the large, flaming red dragon was coming at them fast.
With little time to lose Danny ran towards his friends and practically bulldozed them onto his back and took off running to the wall at the other end of the kitchen.
"Uhh, Danny?" Sam was beginning to question her friend's decision when it looked like they were about to crash into the wall.
With a very determined look Danny charged up a plasma blast and fired just before they reached the wall. The blast had left a big enough hole in the wall for him to jump through.
The trio tumbled out the other side into the hallway. They looked back at the gaping hole in the wall they just came out of. "Hey, it worked!" Danny exclaimed.
Sam stood up and brushed herself off, looking rather frustrated. "This is the thanks I get for thinking like an individual!" She yelled.
It was then that they heard a vicious snarl and looked over at the hole. The trio tensed as the creature that had been chasing them crawled it's way out of the wall.
The large red dragon stood on its hind legs and growled at them menacingly. "I will find that meat! Now, tell me where it is, or perish!"
Danny ran in front of his friends protectively "Forget it! The only thing that has an expiration date here is you!" He roared, then attempted to make himself look formidable.
That, however quickly failed when he suddenly and accidentally transformed back into human form. "Whoops, I uh, didn't mean to do that." He said nervously.
The red creature swiped it's tail at Danny and Tucker, throwing them against the lockers. He then grabbed Sam and flew off down the hall.
"Change back we gotta go!" Tucker exclaimed as he saw the large dragon carry off his best friend.
And they probably would've chased after it too, if it hadn't been for the fact that two large hands just grabbed the backs of their shirts.
Mr. Lancer pulled the two boys off the ground. "You two aren't going anywhere."
Tucker and Danny looked at each other nervously. This was bad.
This was really bad.
