Woohoo! Next chapter! Emjoyies!
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, it's characters, or Avatar the Last Airbender. Deal with it.
When everyone's vision returned, in Alicia's place floated a very put out Conflagration.
Danny's throat went dry as Vlad's voice arose from the cell phone once more. "Fool. The signal was to activate Conflagration's transformation. And you just destroyed the block that kept her out of my grasps."
There was a disbelieving silence that passed over Danny, Sam, and Tucker. Vlad had used them.
And he used every bit he could get.
"You are one twisted man Vlad," Danny scowled into the phone. "When I get my hands on you-"
"If you're still around to get your hands on me," Vlad cut Danny short. "You have a battle on your hands. It seems the ghost boy has a date with an angel." Angered, Danny cut Vlad's laugh short by demolishing the phone in his hand.
His eyes looked up and were greeted with a familiar flaming pair he hadn't seen for days.
"Hello Phantom," the child smiled eeriely. Her eye once again emitted a raging red glow that revealed just how passionate she could be. "Vladdy told me to eliminate you."
"Conflagrat-I mean, Lyric- I mean Alici- WHOMEVER YOU ARE, SNAP OUT OF IT!" It was slightly confusing for Danny to confront his neighbor/enemy/angel friend on such negative terms.
"You wish," Conflagration whispered into his ear before she punched him in the stomach, sending him flying back into a building.
Pain shot through Danny's head, but he ignored it and focased on the problem at hand. He had to stop Conflagration, but he also needed to remember that Alicia and Lyric were also on the line here.
Why did he get stuck with the neighbor with a personality disorder?
Danny flew back up to meet Conflagration where she grinned sadistically at him. "I don't want to hurt you. You're my friend...well, to a limit, anyway."
"Get over it boy," Conflagration replied. "The girls you know will NEVER come back now that you've freed me. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a job to finish." With that, she threw two fire balls at Danny. They missed by a landslide.
Danny raised an eyebrow. "Um, there's no way you can beat me with that aim."
"Who said I was aiming at you?" the child smirked. Danny turned around and groaned as the fireballs hit two of the houses below. The structures immediately burst into flame, and people began to scatter out rapidly.
She's going to burn everything around if I don't do something! Danny realized. "HEY! I'm your target! Aim at me, not innocent people."
Conflagration stuck her tongue out at him. "Make me." She snapped her fingers and three more buildings turned into flames. Below, screams and shouts of panic arose. Black smoked billowed into the air and the registered halfa realized how serious this fight really was.
Over the Fenton Phones he forgot he had, Sam's voice echoed loudly, "Danny! What's going on up there?"
"Conflagration's burning the homes!" Danny yelled. "See if you can evacuate everyone!"
On the ground, Sam, Alysa and Tucker began running to all the houses and pounding on the doors. Each one they told the families they needed to leave NOW.
Sam ended up having to ring the Raiyn's home. The door opened, and Mrs. Raiyn smiled sweetly at the girl.
"You must be one of Alicia's friends," she dusted her hands on her apron. "She's not home yet."
"I'm aware of that Mrs. Raiyn, but that's not why I'm here. You need to evacuate the house!" Sam said hurriedly.
Mrs. Raiyn paled. "What do you mean." Sam pointed to the sky where Conflagration and Danny had begun a hand to hand conflict.
"Oh no!! ALICIA!" the mother cried. Her eyes opened wide in terror as she gasped. She seemed frozen in spot. So Alicia's mom knew about the whole "Conflagration" problem...this would be interesting to store away.
"Ma'am, you need to get out of here for your own safety. Is anyone else here?" Sam asked, trying to snap the shocked woman out of her paralysis.
It worked. "Oh no! I need to get the twins and Sariah out of the house! Thank you, young lady for warning me." With that, she ran back in.
Sam stared at the door for a moment, and then ran to the next house where Alysa and Tucker waited for her.
"Is that everybody?" Tucker asked. Alysa and Sam nodded, and the group gave a slight sigh. Then they remembered that the entire block was burning around them. A loud crash was hear above them, and they looked upwards just in time to see Danny thrown into a wall. Without a moment's hesitation, he flew back into the fight. Unbeknowest to him, a chunk of the bricks began to fall down towards his friends.
Luckily, Sam was watching and pushed Tucker and Alicia out of the way just in time to avoid the rocky doom.
"We can't stay here," Sam yelled over the roaring flames. "It's too dangerous!"
"But what about Danny?" Tucker looked to the sky where two blurs contantly collided. "We can't leave him!"
"There's no other choice! We can't do anything to stop this!" Sam began to pull the teens with her as she ran through the soot.
"We CAN help!" Alyssa coughed, dark spit flinging to the ground. "If we can block the signal again, Conflagration will disappear!"
"How can we jam it?" Tucker panted.
"Alicia told her old friends and I about Conflagration a long time ago, and together we built a jammer in the form of a watch. If we can get the schematics, we could build it." Alysa revealed. "We just need to get back to my city FAST. Is there a way to do that?"
Thinking of the Spector Speeder, Tucker nodded. "Yeah, but that means we'll have to turn around and head through the flames to get to FentonWorks..."
"Let's do it," Sam said as she and the others turned around.
Darin, Kelvin, and Jina were sitting around at Darin's house, all three crowded around the computer screen.
"Wait for it," Jina grinned. "Wait for it."
The two boys traded glances, confused as to what the girl's excitement was all about.
"There it is!" Jina screamed, and pointed rapidly onto the computer. On the screen was the picture of the front of the DVD for the third season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Aang was in a fire nation uniform with Zuko's hair, Katara looked evil, Toph looked as she always did (tough) and Sokka had a sword instead of a boomerang. (AN: This is really what it looks like, I've seen it)
Kelvin and Darin shook their heads as Jina bounced around the room, jumping for joy.
"Jina, it's just a TV show," Kelvin tried to explain.
"Yeah, jumping around and screaming borderlines obsession," Darin added.
Jina stopped jumping to inform them that the definition of "fangirl" was obsession. She was about to continue her defense when Darin's phone rang.
"Hello?" Darin answered. "Oh, hi Alysa...nothing, you just saved me from the fangirl."
Jina glared at him and smacked him on the backside of his head. "For your information, fangirls are what holds everyshow together!"
Darin nodded and listen to what Alysa was telling him. His face paled, and he turned on the TV located across the room. The news was on, and it told of a rampaging fire in Amity Park.
He listened for a moment, then put down the phone and turned to his friends.
"What happened?" Kelvin asked. Jina looked at the TV and began to worry.
"The watch was destroyed in a misunderstanding," Darin said. "We have to get the schematics ready so that another one can be quickly rendered. Can you print them out Jina?"
The black-haired girl nodded, and started rapidly typing on the computer.
"Kelvin, we need to start gathering items they'll need to build it rapidly. They'll be here in a few minutes..." Darin began to grab things from around his room. "We need to hurry before Amity Park is burned to a crisp."
There was an uneasy silence as the group raced await the arrival of Alysa, Sam and Tucker.
