Phantom in the Bund Chapter 3
(After PP)
Akira and Mina stood over the unconscious form of the intruder, Mina wiping away his blood from her lips.
"Are you sure we needed to do that Mina?" Akira said. "He said he just wanted to talk to us about something."
"For all we know Akira," Mina said with an exaggerated gesture, "he could be a fast-talking Telomere assassin, or someone from the Three Clans. Once he wakes up, and I use my authority as his master to determine what is truly going on, then, if he was human before I bit him, we can use the vaccine to easily cure him".
As she said this, Akira looked at her hand and said," Mina, the last time I checked, blood wasn't supposed to be neon green".
"I thought it tasted weird," Mina mused, looking at the bright green blood on her hand and… "Is it glowing?" Mina asked, her eyes widening, as she looked a bit more closely at the blood on her hand.
Before they could examine the blood any more, the intruder, who had been murmuring slightly in his sleep, suddenly stopped and started screaming at the top of his lungs, like he was in tremendous pain, distracting them.
"What the HELL did you do to him Mina?" Akira shouted at her over the screams of pain.
"I just bit him," she yelled back, "This shouldn't be happening!"
The intruder then tore off the cloak he was wearing, revealing an apparently teenage boy with a black jumpsuit with white trim and a white symbol on the chest, tan skin, hair so white it looked bleached of all color, and a white aura surrounding him.
"What is he Akira?" Mina asked as the glowing boy continued to thrash, "I have never seen anything like him before".
"I don't know, why do you think I would?" Akira said with annoyed look on his face before the boy caught their attention again.
He raised his hands, and his hands suddenly started to glow green! As Mina and her knight gasped in shock, his hands, still glowing, turned transparent and reached into his own chest!
"Akira," Mina said shakily, "Did he just?"…
"I think so," Akira said, his eyes so wide they looked ready to burst, "I think so."
The intruder, his hands still in his chest, suddenly screamed even louder as he ripped a black mass out, then threw it on the floor several feet away, and then rolled over onto his hands and knees, groaning as he tried to get up.
"Can we, please talk?" the strange boy said as he managed to stagger to his feet, clutching his chest in pain.
"S-sure, let's go somewhere where we can sit down," Mina said, still looking a bit shell-shocked, "Follow me".
As the teen grudgingly followed Mina out the doorway, Akira close behind, they didn't notice how the mass on the ground seem to slowly pulsate.
They walked through the halls for a minute, the strange boy understandably glaring angrily at Mina and Akira as he hovered behind them.
"Here we are," said Akira as he opened the door to a lounge, and they all filed inside. As soon as they were all seated, Akira had reverted to human form and put on a new set of clothes, and Mina had introduced her and Akira, Akira couldn't contain his curiosity any longer. "Now that that's over, what the hell are you?" he shouted.
The glowing boy, sighing, said "Fine, I probably should explain this anyway," and begun a tale Mina and Akira would never have believed if they hadn't seen what he could do.
He told them that he was from another reality, one with two worlds, Earth and an alternate dimension called the Ghost Zone, a place of infinite realms inhabited by ghostly beings.
He himself was a ghost named Danny Phantom, who had died at the age of 14 (though, as he told them with a grimace, ghosts can have children), and returned to Earth immediately afterwards, but found that evil ghosts had found the stable portal he had used to return, and where passing through it to attack the town of Amity Park.
Since his ghostly abilities allowed him to fight the malevolent specters head on, he started to protect the town, while at the same time avoiding the ghost hunters who, believing all ghosts were evil (which was not true, he assured them), tried to capture and experiment on him, or just destroy him outright, slowly gaining acceptance, despite the actions of some of his enemies.
As time went on, he became even more powerful, even gaining entirely new abilities (besides the three universal powers all ghosts have, intangibility, invisibility, and flight), like teleportation, regeneration, cyrokinesis, and so on.
He, by using a device built by the main ghost hunters of the town that greatly amplified the natural abilities of the wearer, managed to defeat an ancient spectral tyrant who ruled over the Ghost Zone, Pariah Dark, who was once King of All Ghosts, singlehandedly!
Afterwards, he went on to defeat more powerful foes, and even stopped a government anti-ghost agency from destroying the Ghost Zone, which would have also destroyed the Earth!
Finally, it all came to a climax when he had to gather the support of a massive number of ghosts to generate the energy needed to turn the whole Earth intangible to allow an asteroid that had threatened to destroy it to pass through it instead! This finally allowed him to be completely recognized as a hero worldwide, and opened up a bright future.
"So," Mina asked after digesting this for a minute "Why did you come here then, if things were going so well?"
"My cousin, Dani with a I, accidentally fell through a portal between dimensions with a metal tube containing a being of pure evil, so I came here to try to find her and keep the evil from being released," Danny said with a dark look on his face. "Trust me on this; we do not want him getting out! I came to you," he said as he pointed at Mina, "Because I thought you could help me search for them, but instead you bit me!" Danny said, his voice getting louder as he did.
"That reminds me," Mina said suddenly, "A vampire cannot disobey a command from their master, or a vampire who can command that master, it's like their bodies are being remotely controlled."
"Yeah, how exactly does someone become a vampire anyway?" Danny interrupted.
"After being bitten, a human is infected with the vampiric retrovirus, which transforms them. It takes approx. 72 hours, but the process can be reversed and the person cured if a vaccine is given to them before 48 hours have passed," Mina continued with an annoyed look. "As I was saying, I think you managed to purge the infection, but to test it, I now give you a direct order to stand up and spin around," Mina said to Danny.
"Uh, no," Danny said with a quick glare at Mina, "I am not doing that."
"You evidently managed to purge the virus," Mina said, having the decency to look a bit embarrassed when Akira looked at her like she had grown a second head.
"Aaaahhhhhh!" a feminine sounding voice suddenly shouted out in apparent terror from outside the room, startling the three of them.
"That sounded like Nanami," Akira shouted, dashing out of the room, Danny flying close behind.
As they got to the throne room, Danny saw a maid with long hair and glasses standing in shock. Following her gaze, he saw that the black mass had grown greatly, and was moving.
"Wha..." Akira said in shock. Then looking at the floor, he nearly froze. Following his gaze, Danny that the shadows n the room seemed to be pouring into the mass as it grew.
Just after Mina arrived, the mass grew until it was as tall as Danny, then it gained more definition, eventually looking like a rippling shadowy outline of the spectral boy. Then, as its audience looked on, it opened intense green eyes. It looked at itself, seemingly checking to see that everything was in place, then, grinning wide enough to show its sharp white fangs, it suddenly cried out,
"I live!"
To be continued…
I know I'm evil, blame my muse for it!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 2012!
Did you get the second head reference? If you didn't, you need to watch more Danny Phantom!
The retrovirus is NOT made up, read Dive in the Vampire Bund if you don't believe me.
Check out my story,The Ultimate Guide to Danny Phantom,for ALL the DP info you could need! (Updated occasionally)
EMERGENCY! ALL the Danny Phantom episodes are being deleted from YouTube! I am counting on you to post new ones. The more good quality DP episodes there are, the faster I will try to update!
If you want me to keep updating my Phantom in the Bund DP/Dance in the Vampire Bund Crossover story, the first story in a multi-crossover series spanning most of my DP crossovers, I need Dance in the Vampire Bund volumes 11 available ASAP! I will focus on my other stories less as well until I can get the manga so I can know more about the series (a big part of the reason I have waited so long for some of my other stories).
I know some of you are ticked off about me not having updated many of my stories. Basically, the idea is that Danny is traveling through dimensions, and that each story focuses on a different universe, Phantom in the Bund being first (though Danny Phantom in Hueco Mundo, Phantom Fairy Tale, and Phantom Spider are not part of part of this series)
