Phase Six: Get Hauled Around

Dash had looked over just in time to see Danny tape something above the punch bowl.

"Oh no," Dash mumbled to himself before rushing over.

The something turned out to be a photo of Dash's room, complete with a trio of teddy bears, a night light next to the bed, and, as if they was caught in the photo just to prove it was his room, a letterman jacket on the back of a chair and a football award presented to Dash Baxter on the desk.

There was a chorus of laughter all around. Dash's face got hot with anger.

"FENTON!"

Danny was laughing right behind the jock. "Yes Dash?" He looked up at his classmate all innocence.

"You're gunna pay for this!" the teen yelled, balling his hands into fists. Then, in a lower voice he hissed, "Won't be so funny when I tell everyone what you can do." He looked up at the crowd. "Hey everyone!" he yelled, getting the room's attention, "I have something to tell you all!"

He glanced at the loser to get his reaction. Danny simply grinned evilly and a howl resounded through the house. Any lingering laughter stopped immediately.

"What was that?" Star shrieked, gripping hard onto Kwan's arm.

"Oh no," Danny said, his voice monotone, "sounds like a ghost, aaahhh." He gave Dash another of his sinister grins.

At his words the room went into a panic. A hoard of bodies rushed for the front door and spilled into the street, leaving Dash and Kwan the last outside. Fenton had disappeared into the crowd.

Outside there was a scream and a bunch of people pointed to the roof of Kwan's house. The ghost from the shack was there in its torn clothing, howling at the sky before turning its glowing red eyes on the teens below.

Dash ran.

Or, Dash would have run had he not tripped over Danny as he turned to bolt. Danny bent over and reached out a mocking hand to the jock. "Need some help?" he asked grinning as his classmate glared at him.

"Fenton I swear-"

But the ghost leaped from the building and tossed Danny aside, cutting off what Dash was going to say with a snarl. Dash caught a glimpse of Danny's stunned face before the ghost seized him by the collar and hoisted him into the air.

"Wulf," he heard Danny whisper worriedly.

There was screaming and panic all around. Someone shouted for everyone to run. The street began to clear as the crowd scattered.

The ghost growled and lobed Dash like a Frisbee. Dash screamed loudly, closing his eyes as he hurtled through the air and plowed into someone who managed not to fall over.

"Dash?" Danny's voice asked, a hand shaking the jock slightly, "Dash are you ok?" The jock opened his eyes and was met with Danny's icy blue gaze. Apparently, the loser had caught him.

Dash shook his arms out of Fenton's hold and dusted himself off, not meeting the boy's eyes. "Whatever Fenturd. I know what you're trying to do and don't think I-" But the teen didn't let him finish, grabbing the jock and tumbling out of the way of a swipe from the ghost's giant claws.

"Wulf! What're you doing?" Danny shouted, crouching low beside Dash, a hand on the boy's shoulder. Dash tried to shrug it off but the loser's grip was strong, far too strong for someone of his build.

The ghost gave another howl and yelled something, lunging at Dash. Danny's grip tightened as he pulled Dash into another tumble out of the way. But, when Dash looked back, the ghost was gone.

"What the hell was-"

"Shush!" Danny hissed, gripping Dash's shoulder tightly again. Dash winced slightly. "He'll be back."

"What do you mean? He left." Dash once again tried in vain to throw off Danny's grasp. The boy simply gave the jock an annoyed growl.

"Look Dash," Danny whispered, his gaze lingering on his classmate's for just a moment before searching all around them, "Just because he isn't here doesn't mean he can't reappear just as quickly as he disappears. Trust me, I know."

"Yea well, who the hell told him to come here in the first place?"

"I didn't tell him to do all this!" Danny argued, giving a glare at the jock. "I don't stoop to your level of torture."

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Dash asked, "My work is an art!" Suddenly, there was a growling-hiss from behind them and Dash looked over his shoulder to come face to face with the panther-like ghost from school. He screamed loudly as it pounced.

Everything happened in quick succession. Fenton sent one of those green blasts at the creature just as a strange gaping hole appeared and the wolf ghost leaped out. The panther thing was back up, lunging at the boys. Danny sunk the two through the ground and Dash shut his eyes very hard, trying to concentrate on a time when he wasn't fighting for his life.

"Dash?"

The jock opened his eyes. He was sitting on the ground down a back alley, Fenton kneeling next to him. When he saw the quarterback was awake, he grinned. "Didn't wet yourself did you?"

"Shut it Fenfreak," Dash growled in warning, "Or you'll be eating your meals through a straw."

All he got in response was an amused eyebrow raise and a pitying laugh. Dash scrambled to his feet, his blood pressure rising. If Fenton thought he could get away with mocking him like that…

There was a pair of howls and Dash jumped, his rage temporarily forgotten. "How did they find us?"

Danny didn't say anything but grabbed his classmate by the wrist and threw him against a wall, covering the teen's mouth with his hand, gesturing for the boy to be quiet. Dash's eyes wandered to Danny's shoulder. The shirt was ripped and there was blood gushing from a gash in his flesh. When Danny removed his hand Dash gestured to it.

"What happened?" he asked, not unkindly. He may do a lot of things, but never had he made someone actually bleed. In his mind that just seemed bad.

"That panther took a chunk out of me before we escaped," he said, looking out at the street as if keeping watch, "It's no big deal." He shook his head slightly as if clearing it and turned to Dash.

"What about you? Are you ok?"

"As good as I can be with your freaky ghost friends after me," Dash shot. Even if Fenton was bleeding, he didn't have to be nice. "And stop hauling me around, you'll taint my throwing arm."

"Taint?" Danny asked, looking over his shoulder at the quarterback.

"Yea, taint. Got a problem with that, loser?" Dash defended.

Danny had opened his mouth to say something when, all of a sudden, the panther ghost bolted around the corner straight for the teen with the wolf ghost not far behind. Dash screamed as the wolf thing jumped over Danny and lunged straight for the jock. Danny was tackled to the ground by the panther.

Dash dodged as best as he could, getting out of the way just before being slashed by the thing's claws. Then, out of nowhere, Danny tackled the wolf ghost, the two bodies tumbling into the dumpster. The panther jumped for them, and the three scrambled around, kicking, bighting, scratching, and experimenting with all other ways of trying to maim each other before two of Danny's blasts sent the two ghosts flying into a wall. Dash looked over his classmate alarmed. The teen stood there alone, breathing heavily, his clothing torn, blood gushing from gashes on various parts of his body, and rage in his glowing green eyes. His hands were smoking from the recent ecto-blasts and he had the look of a wild animal about him.

Dash took a few fearful steps back into the corner of the alley as Danny let out a yell of rage and two beams of light appeared at his waist and split in opposite directions. His clothing changed from torn jeans and shredded white tee to a famous black and white jumpsuit whit the even more famous flying emblem on the chest. The teen's hair flashed from jet-black to snowy-white. Dash sat heavily on the ground in shock.

Fenton was… Phantom?


Hahaha! I feel so evil! I love it!

Ok, if you're wondering why Danny and Wulf are both a little… well… out of character I should say… I do have a reason… think ghost rabies that's all I'm saying.

I also have a little challenge for you people who enjoy drawing and such. If you could do a picture for me of any scene in this whole fic that would just be soo cool! I get so many picture ideas in my head as I write this but I don't have the time or the skill to draw them. If anyone decides to just PM me the link to the picture and that'd be awesome!

Anyway! Review and Flame to your heart's content. And if you'll excuse me, my roomate and I are going to go bat-shit crazy of lack of sleep! Yay!
