Hello lovelies,
How are you guys? What cha been doing? Were you having fun? Well obviously not as much fun as I've been having. Anyways, I cut my finger really bad yesterday so sorry if I don't write as much as usual. I watched Sky High the other day and I am now in love with Warren Peace. So stay tuned for a Sky High fanfic. Alright chicks and chicos here is chapter 2.
An intangible Danny floated up through the thick sand dragging an unconscious Tucker behind him. He became tangible again once on the surface and laid his friend on the ground.
"Come on Tuck. Wake up man." he pleaded tapping the side of the black boy's face, "come on man, you've got to wake up."
A sudden rise in Tucker's chest followed by wheezing and coughing let Danny know everything was alright. He pulled him into a sitting position and began to gently pat him on the back.
"What happened?" The techno geek asked hazily.
"I'm not quite sure."
Danny stood up and looked around. They were on top of a giant sand dune looking over a vast desert dotted with a few caves and tents far off. He looked towards where the center used to be. Now a large beautiful oasis stood in its place. In the oasis what looked like a walled Arabic city with a large Palace behind it made its home.
Dusting himself off Danny began to walk toward the town. He turned slightly to say, "Come on Tuck I think we better start walking."
"What! Come on man can't you just fly us there?"
Danny looked back at his friend "Tuck we have just been sent into a world by Desiree. Do you think we should try our lives when we're sure that the odds are this much out of our favor?"
"No."
"Alright then. Come on."
The two began the slow hot walk to the town below. The sun burned tortuosly on their backs as they treaded through the heavy sand.
"Man, why did my parent's have to get a nice house on the outskirts of town."
"Just be glad we weren't at Sam's house"
"Yeah."
Suddenly thought found its way back into the boy's head. What about Sam what had happened to her. Tucker screamed as he began to dig through the sand.
"Come on Danny! She could have suffocated by now!"
"Tucker,"
"Hurry up Danny! Go intangible and get her out!"
"Tuck,"
"DANNY! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON!"
Danny grabbed his friend and shook him, "She's not here Tuck! Don't you remember, Desiree took her."
Tucker's face became like stone, "Sam."
"She's alright Tucker," the onyx haired boy reassured his friend.
"How do you know?"
"Ghost sense." he lied. The truth was Danny had no idea how Sam was but he couldn't let Tucker let alone himself think of other possibilities.
As they continued their way down the sand dune the duo held their silence. Both of them in their own little personal hell thinking about their missing friend.
Tucker felt a tingling sensation in his left pocket. He reached in and pulled out his PDA.
"Danny!"
"What," Danny groaned hating that he hadn't just used his ghost powers like Tucker suggested.
"Danny!"
"What!"
"My PDA is working!"
"What!"
"I said my PDA is-,"
"No I understood you the first time. Doesn't a satellite have to be up for you to use those."
"Yeah, because I'm ascessing the internet right now."
"Hey look up Amity Park."
"Uh, Danny,"
"What, that bad."
"Worse."
"Out with it Tuck!"
"The only thing that comes up is the capital of the Kingdom of Desire. And guess who's the queen of our great little kingdom."
"Desiree."
"Yep. Oh and it gets better. According to this, the kingdom consists of the entire Americas and Africa."
"Christ, Tuck! How could she have done it so fast."
"That's the best part. Danny, welcome to 2010."
"What!"
That's when they realized that they had already made it to the gates of the city. A crowd was constantly hustling in and out of the gates. Some were dressed in colorful linen outfits but white seemed the norm.
Two very large and bulky guards stood on each side snatching what seemed like random people out of the crowds. They searched them then either let them go or if they found what thy were looking for dropped it in large jars and put the detainee in one of two large wooden cells that stood next to the guards with others.
Danny was able to get a quick peek at what the guards were pulling off of the people. Cell phones, CD players, disks, and other pieces of technology were being thrown into the jars. It seemed as if these things were forbidden.
"Tucker, turn off your PDA, hide it and stay low." Danny whispered.
"Why?" Tuck whispered back.
"Just do it."
"Fine."
Tucker turned off his equipment and put it deep in his pants leg. Near crouching, he and Danny hid themselves among the crowd and were able to sneak through the gates.
Looking up Danny couldn't believe his eyes. It was just so strange. It was as if somebody had put Aladdin and a futuristic movie in a blender and turned it up on high. There street vendors printing designs on linen shits with lasers while fish mongers pulled customer's orders out of large completely portable freezer.
Everyone seemed to be dressed in linen except for a few bums on the street that cut off the pants legs so that the heat wouldn't be too much.
As Danny and Tucker walked down the streets their eyes wandered over their new surroundings. The sand on the ground had been walked over so many time that it make a great floor and posters of the queen herself were on many walls.
It was then that Tucker saw something that he knew could mean trouble. Standing in an alleway behind Fenton a slim medium height black girl was barking out orders at large male guards.
Tucker could recognize the red clothing, green eyes, and bad attititude anywhere. It was Valerie Gray and it seemed she was working for the other side.
Her outfit consisted of a short corset like top that tied in the front with black cord over her ample chest, long red gloves with cord ties like the top that reached up to her elbows and that had the pinky and index and thumb cut out, long dark red leather boot that reached about mid-thigh on the outside and nearly to her crotch on the inside of her leg, red pants that had a studded belt that not only wrapped around her waist but also did one loop around each thigh which supported a long rapier in a red sheath, a red hooded cape with a mask over her nose and mouth, and three metal folds on her right shoulder that seemed to show status. She looked smoking hot in an I might be an assassin sort of way.
"Danny whatever you do just keep looking at me."
Danny turned completely around as he said, "Why, what's up Tu-" but he stopped short as he saw what Tucker meant. His jaw dropped as Valerie pushed a button on the side of her mask to make it contract. She held up her left arm and pressed a spot on her sleeve that made a screen appear.
"Alright," she said after studying her screen for a moment, "the ones who came here spiritually have entered the city. This is a 'search and destroy' mission set by Queen Desiree herself. Gold and green teams will take the southern city while blue and red teams take north. Am I under stood?" she hissed in a heavily accented but strong voice.
"Yes Captain." The guards barked back.
Tucker grabbed Danny to run but he was still in a light stupor. "Hey lover boy get her number after we get away from the guards she just sent to kill us."
Danny turned to Tucker and nodded. They began to run through alleyways and behind carts trying to loose the guards. The bad thing was that the more they ran the more lost they became.
That's when they finally met a dead end. Looking around there was no way to get out. They heard the sound of a guard's voice coming closer and closer.
Suddenly Danny felt a hand cover his mouth and pull him to the end of the alley. The same thing happened to Tucker. Danny watched as his body became intangible and the guard entered the alleyway.
He looked around and slowly began to make his way to the end of the alley. He had made it within a foot of the hiding fugitives when a voice came from behind him.
"What are you doing?"
"I thought I felt something in this alley Captain."
"I don't want feelings, I want results."
He held his head down and began to follow her out of the alley when he whispered under his breath, "Yeah you want results but you can't even catch Phantom."
As quick as lightning Valerie had her foot to his throat with her spike heel at his juggler vein. She looked him up and down with dagger eyes.
"You listen, and you listen well, lackey. I am your superior and I planned to be treated as such. If you dare say anything about my work again, I will personally drive my heel into your eye. Understood?"
"Yes." was all that he could whisper out against her shoe at his windpipe.
She smiled and removed her foot. Suddenly she backhanded him in the face, "It's yes captain."
"Yes, Captain." he said. She turned around and began to walk away. He leaned over and spat blood before following behind her.
Both Danny and Tucker were released and lightly shoved forward. They heard laughter coming from behind them and turned around just in time to see two white rings leaving a tall young man behind. He had very shaggy shoulder length black hair that had baby blue eyes peeking from underneath. He smiled a gorgeous pearly white smile from a lightly scarred face.
"So how does it feel to get saved by yourself instead getting saved from yourself?"
How did you like the story? I personally loved it, but that's just me. WingsOfMorphius hold it down.
Keep it Fresh!
