Sam was furious. She was so mad, she felt like punching the lights out of the first person who gave her bad news. Tucker and she had waited for two hours for Danny to get to the carnival. At first she suspected he had ghost's trouble, but had ruled that out knowing Danny would at least call them after the first hour. He promised that he was going to be more considerate and stop blowing them off! The first second she saw Danny, she was going to give him a piece of her mind.
"Sam! Wait up!" Tucker yelled trying to keep up with her. Sam had been stomping her way to Danny's house in a fit of rage. She slowed down to let a panting Tucker catch up alongside her. "Come on Sam, I know your upset, but you have got to give Danny the benefit of the doubt."
"Benefit of the doubt?!" the Goth girl yelled, "He left us standing there for him for two hours Tucker!"
"I'm sure he's got a good reason a reason. Maybe he had to stop home and his parents held him up with some sort of ghost gizmo of there's'." He replied as they rounded to corner of the block, with the Fenton household now in sight. Sam walked up to the door and pounded on it. Jazz answered the door and looked relived to see them.
"Boy am I glad you guys are here, something seems wrong with Danny." Jazz said.
Sam's face turned from angry to worried, "What? What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know, he just came home with this really depressed look on his face. I tried talking to him, but he just locked himself in his room. He's been up there doing nothing all this time."
Sam and Tucker did not waste any time running up the stairs to Danny's room. Sam knocked on the door, "Danny? Are you in there?" No response.
"Come on dude, tell us what's up," Tucker said knocking on the door as well.
Danny opened his weary eyes. Was that Sam's voice? Tucker too? What where they doing here? His mind was still trying to wake up and register something, something important that he was forgetting. He looked at his radio that was on but the volume was low but loud enough to hear what was being said. He climbed out of bed, walked over to the door, and unlocked it.
To Danny's surprise, the door swung open to reveal the three worried faces of Sam, Tucker, and his sister. And then it all came back to him, detention with Mr. Lancer, the carnival that the three of them where supposed to go to, (which Sam was probably going to kill him before he could explain himself) and above all… the death he had just witnessed a few hours beforehand.
"Danny are you alright?" Jazz asked her little brother in a worried tone.
He looked at the three of them, "No… Something happened at school guys, something bad…"
"What happened?" Sam asked, her worry gradually increasing every second.
"Dude, you looked you've seen a ghost, or something pretty terrifying that we don't see almost every day." Tucker added.
Danny was going to say something when the radio cut him off, "There was a murder today at local high school, Casper High." Danny turned up the volume on the radio, "A student from the school was found beaten up to a point where he died after he had passed out. The last person to see the young Jason Carson alive and to see him die was Daniel Fenton, who is also the son of Maddie and Jack Fenton, the worlds top ranked ghost experts. Police have already ruled him out as a suspect, due to the time he was with his teacher and the time it took for Jason to bleed to death contradicted with each other." He turned it off and turned to face the others.
"Danny! Why didn't you tell me sooner?! Mom and Dad have to know about this!" Jazz exclaimed.
"Jazz, wait please, don't tell Mom and Dad just yet. I really don't want to talk to them about this right now." Danny said with pleading eyes, "I have a really bad headache."
"Well, will you at least talk to us?" Tucker asked, "You can't just keep it all bottled up, talk to us."
Danny began rubbing his temples in frustration. He was going to ask them to just be quiet for a moment when Sam spoke up.
"Danny, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Danny?" they all yelled at once, "Danny! Answer us!"
"Quiet!" Danny yelled, "Enough, all of you! You're not making me feel any better! Jazz, I will talk to Mom and Dad when I'm ready and when my thoughts are straight! Sam, Tucker, I know you're only trying to help, but your constant questions aren't!" The support group was suspired by his sudden outburst as the room filled with a heavy silence.
Danny took a deep breath, and slowly breathed out. "Listen guys, I'm sorry for snapping at you. I just feel so horrible about everything that happened today. I saw somebody die! I know that we are always seeing ghost in town, but that's different! They're all already dead. I… I just want some quiet right now. I promise I'll talk all about what happened tomorrow, but right now" He walked over to the window, "I just need some air."
Two white rings appeared around Danny's waist, one going up the other going down. His white T-shirt and blue jeans were replaced with a black jumpsuit. With it came white gloves, white boots, a belt, a collar, and his symbol which was a D with a P inside. He transformed into Amity Parks most infamous ghost, Danny Phantom.
He was just about to phase through the ceiling when Jazz yelled, "Danny wait!" Danny turned around slightly annoyed.
"What is it?"
"Just be back before nine, ok?"
"Sure…" He phased through the ceiling and was gone.
Danny flew through the sky of his home town, trying to relax his mind. "Stop being so tense." He told himself, "Relax…" he closed his eyes, turned himself intangible, and picked up speed. He flew freely though the sky, finally feeling relaxed with himself. He quickly forgot all of today's troubles and flew like an untamed eagle. Nothing could trouble him now!
A blast of energy struck Danny in his chest, sending him flying into a wall of a building. Talk about irony. He snapped open his eyes and flew back up to the sky to face his attacker. Getting more irritated by the second.
"Knew I'd find you out here, ghost," Valerie said as she floated down on her hover board to reach eye level with the ghost she despised so much. She wore a red electrical looking suit with lines all across it. Her helmet had a small window for her to look out of and glare at her enemy. In her hand she held a large laser canon, aimed at her opponent.
Just what he needed, more frustration. "Why do you keep attacking me?!" Danny screamed, "I apologized for every thing I've done, which was never my fault to begin with, and yet you just won't let it go! What do I have to do to make you leave me alone?!" Normally he didn't complain this much, but he was having a horrible day.
"How about you hold still so I can fry your ghostly butt?" Valerie fired her laser at Danny, who quickly dogged the blast. He looked back to where the blast had hit, and saw that the laser had annihilated a large mailbox. If he wasn't careful, people could get hurt. He turned his attention back to Valerie, ready to fight.
She began firing rapidly at the ghost boy, trying her hit her target. Danny flew in zigzags across the street pavement, easily avoiding each blast. If he stayed low to the ground, the pavement would take most of the damage from the blast instead of the sidewalk where people could be. He took a sharp, upper U-turn and flew strait toward the girl, and fired an ecto-blast from his hands, blasting her from her hover board and sending her crashing to the ground. This gave him time to fly toward the sky and try to get their fight to a least populated area.
Valerie had recoiled from the blast and chased after the ghost boy on her hover board. Danny saw the welcome sign to Amity Park. Once they were outside the city limits, the fight could finish without the worry of civilians getting hurt.
Unfortunately, he was shot down to the ground about two blocks from the welcome sign. Valerie had caught up with him. Before he could get to his feet, she fired again. This time from the right, sending him crashing into the side of a house, face first.
He opened his eyes to see a small Japanese girl, looking at him in both awe and excitement from the inside of the window his head had thankfully missed. The girl's smile faded when she saw what was behind Danny. He looked at her quizzically, until he focused on the refection in the window. His eyes widened in fear for not just his own safety, but the safety of the small girl standing before him. Valerie had an enormous canon in her arms in place of the one she had before. It was charging a large sphere of energy that looked ready to be unleashed!
"Run!" Danny screamed though the window. The child wasted no time in running in the direction of her bedroom door. Danny flipped around and gathered all the energy he could in his hands. If he didn't stop that blast, that little girl would be seriously hurt!
Just before Valerie launched the sphere of energy at Danny, she pressed a button on the hover board, charging up the engines on her vehicle. She fired her attack. He launched a blast larger that the size of his own body, hoping to engulf the sphere. When the two blasts collided in mid-air, Danny couldn't believe his eyes.
Valerie's blast move like it was made of puddy! The sphere stretched around Danny's blast, reformed into a ball, and continued it course at him! Valerie had dogged his blast easily because of the charged engines, but he had no time to react as the attack hit its mark. Right before he passed out, he hear a cry of pain that was not his own.
