On with the story!
Demon Danny
Chapter 2
"Where am I?" Danny thought as he searched for the cause of the voice, "Who is this?"
"Ah Danny this is an in-between place of sorts, and I, to put it simply, am the Devil" The voice said, laughing.
"How could you hear me?" Danny demanded, before his mind caught up with him, "Wait! The Devil?"
"Yes," the voice replied, clearly amused.
"Wait," Danny said, holding his head as a look of terror came over his face, "Am I…. dead?"
"Yes" It said.
"And if I'm dead, and you're the devil… then I'm going to hell." Danny collapsed on to his knees, "And everything I done, to save and protect people… was a waste." He started crying in rage. "All that for nothing?"
"Oh no my dear boy, you are indeed dead, but by no means going to Hell." The voice, no the Devil Danny corrected himself said, "I have delayed you on your way to the other place to give you an offer."
"Other place?"
Although Danny couldn't see the Devil he was sure he nodded.
"Now about the offer," The Devil continued, "I am offering the chance to go back, to see your friends and family again and protect the town again." A scroll appeared in front off Danny, casting a soft green glow with his hands he began to read it. "Dreadful things will happen if you don't."
Danny wasn't listening to the last part his attention was taken up by the horrible scroll floating in front of him. It was a list.
Souls Entering Hell
Sam Manson
Tucker Foley
Maddie Fenton
Jack Fenton
Jazz Fenton
Valerie Grey
The list went on but those were the only names that took up his attention.
"Why? Why do they deserve to go to hell?" He started sobbing "They were good people! They don't deserve to go to Hell!"
"My dear boy, it is not what kind of people they were that matters, it is how they were killed."
Danny looked confused. The Devil continued. "You were killed by your mother, and although it was an accident she loves you and regrets it, because of that you have the option to go to… Heaven" The Devil spat out the last word. But still went on. "Without you there however almost everyone in the town will be killed by murderous, evil ghosts. If that happens they will unfortunately go to hell and be tortured for eternity." He paused, "it is not a fair system, but it works."
"So your offering me the chance to go back and save them?"
"Yes, only if they die at the hands of a loved one, by accident or by natural causes will they go pass over to where thay truly belong" Danny could have sworn the Devil grinned.
"So what's the catch?"
"Why would there be a catch?"
"You're the Devil." Danny pointed out.
"True, true," the Devil laughed, "All you must do is a little work for me hmmm? You will be fighting ghosts anyway all I want you to do is harvest their souls and bring them to Hell. Ghosts are not meant to be, their souls belong here in Hell."
Danny considered this. "Can I really trust him? He's the Devil! The deal doesn't sound too bad though, and I promised her I would come back." He glanced at the list. "And if I don't, look what will happen to her, to everyone!" He clenched his fist, "I have to do it! For her!"
"I see you have reached a decision"
"Yes" He thought for a second. "What will I come back as? A human, a ghost?"
"Neither, as you will be working for me you will go back as a demon"
Danny was taken aback at this, "Working for the Devil? A demon? It all seems kind of evil but if I don't…"
"There is no need to worry" The devil replied to his thoughts, "Although a change in appearance will take place, you will be the same person, with all your memories and feelings, still…. Good"
"How will I fight the ghosts and… take their souls?
"You will have all your ghost powers and more, except flight but there is a solution to that' Danny could tell he was smiling again. " And as for the souls you will use this."
A glowing pole fell into Danny's hands. At first glance it appeared to be black, but a closer inspection would reveal it to nothing, a hole in reality, staring at it for too long gave him a headache.
"What do I do with it?"
"It has many uses, and uses your own power. It is the only way to truly harvest a ghosts soul."
"Okay… What about the change of appearance?
"See for yourself."
A tall mirror appeared a few meters away. Danny walked over to it and gasped in shock. Staring back at himself was himself… but different. His hands had turned into smooth black claws, cruelly sharp. From his snow white hair two curved horns emerged, similarly cruel and black as his claws. A black spiked tail could be seen behind him and in his open mouth he could make out two pointed fangs. The biggest change was what shocked him the most, because from his back emerged two huge glossy black feathered wings. They glowed a faint white as did the rest of him. He assumed this was his new mode of flight. The rest of him was the same, black jumpsuit with silvery white boots, gloves, collar, belt and Danny Phantom symbol on his chest. His hair was the same snow white and his eyes the same luminous green, glowing eerily. Just looking at himself repulsed him, "could I really go back like this and face everyone? What would they think? I look so… Evil!"
"As a demon, this is what you would look like."
Danny shook his head, but sighed. He hated the way he looked, but he had to go back to save Sam.
"I'll do it." He said sadly.
"Splendid!" A glowing green portal appeared I place of the mirror. "Now remember, you may tell your friends and Family who you are, but you are no longer Danny Fenton, you are dead, and work for me as a demon." Danny nodded, "This will take you to the ghost zone, I am sure you will know where to go from there. Good Luck."
Danny walked through the portal. Just as he had passed through he was sure he could hear a cruel laugh.
