Chapter 16

Sick Sad World, Part 3

Hell's Bells

With his goggles set in infrared vision, Danny eyes and jumps on a Hellhound threatening with eating a little girl's face, vaporizing it with a blue energy strike from behind. With his fist smoking blue ghost energy Danny asks the little girl if she was hurt and asks her about her parents who appear in that moment and thank him for saving their daughter. It was a small victory in a long list of failure that surrounded him.

In that moment Valerie, Dani and Tucker arrive at the scene. Tucker came in Valerie's board, holding tight from her waist.

- Guys… what happened here? - Danny asked angrily, sullen and confused.

- Long story - said Tucker jumping in front of him.

- Then cut to the chase - said harshly unsheathing his claws and blades to slash a Hellhound that bustles at Tucker from behind, slicing it in three.

The ectoplasm streaming from the cyborg when he cut it, fell as rain over them and mixed with the blood on the floor. Quickly Danny begins to stab and butcher the remains of the Hellhound, ruining it beyond repair, and every time he pounded the mechanical beast, it would cry and whimper as a real animal helpless and begging for mercy, but damn its luck for Danny has run out of mercy.

- Like this… - he says showing up his blades dripping ectoplasm with a minacious look in his eyes frightening his long-life friend who has never seen him this way before. So much rage there is in Danny, that Tucker could see it in his eyes through his mask.

What he couldn't see was the Hellhounds, so couldn't the rest of the team, and for them it seemed that Danny was cutting the air whenever he slashed them until the ectoplasm gushed all over the place, and for this he was grateful because what he was about to do to them was something he didn't want them to see...

As he fights the Hellhounds and helps as many people as possible, Tucker, Valerie and Danielle explain him, Sam and Jazz how the Hellhounds and Skulker appeared out of nowhere and started to destroy everything and attacking people. They told them about their little success at stopping them since most of them were invisible and even if they got to hurt them they would heal back in seconds.

- So it was Skulker? He is behind this… things?- asked Jazz.

- That's explains the flaming skulls - points Danny freezing one of them with a sub-zero cold energy ray. - Tell me, is there anywhere they haven't got yet?

- I don't know. The sphinx's head? - Tucker replies sarcastically.

- I've been to head of the sphinx, you'll love the view there.

- Wait what? - asked Valerie.

Snapping his fingers Danny teleports all of the humans and his team to the only safe place he knew in the vicinity, the head of the sphinx of the Luxor Hotel, staying behind to fight the Hellhounds with no distraction.

Now alone in what's left of the convention, Danny could fight the Hellhounds without having to worry for anyone getting hurt during the fight, and most important without seeing the fight.

Being the only one who can actually see the Hellhounds, Danny seized every single one of them and slash them as fast and savagely as he could taking all of his rage on them. This time in this fight, he wasn't a hero fighting for the future anymore, his wrath had torn him into something else, something wicked, dark, something malevolent...

The form he mauled them was so savage, so terrifying that some Hellhounds wouldn't even fight him anymore, they were afraid. Instead they would just back down in sign of surrender, but he didn't care, he onslaught them anyway, even worst at some point it seemed he was enjoying it...

Oh God... He was definitely enjoying every second of it, cutting them in half, tearing them apart limb by limb with his hands and claws, to hear their mournful cry and whimpering as he slashes them, to see the fear reflected in their big red eyes just as he wanted… At this point he should be scared of it, of his doing but he wasn't, instead he was elated, he wanted more and the Hellhounds sensed that, so they fought harder and attacked with even more depsperate than ever in their lives and for what?! So a frog in a blender with a superiority complex could have Danny's hide?

What was the point of all this? What was Skulker expecting to come of all this quarrel?

Unelss… he knew nothing good was come of all this.

2:45 AM Local Time.

Now stranded on the top of the sphinx Valerie yells Tucker:

- You had to tell him this was the only safe place?! You couldn't tell him about the basement, didn't ya?! No, you had to go with the sphinx's head!

- How would I know he would zap us all up here?

- You are a-

Valerie gets cut off by her wrist's phone beeping. It was a call from her father who was worried sick about her since she hasn't contacted him in almost an hour.

- Hello? - she asks.

- Valerie! Oh thank God you are ok - says her father on the other side. - I was so worried about you...

- Dad! Oh my god, I was so busy with those things I-I'm so sorry and so glad you are ok.

- So am I, sweetie. I love to hear your voice... Eh, you don't happen to have Tucker around, don't you?

- Actually I do - says strangling him with her left hand.

- Great, I need him on speaker.

By her father's request Valerie lets go of Tucker so they could try to understand how did the Hellhounds pass through the gen-locked ghost shield.

- I still don't get it. How could they pass breach our security systems? - asked Damon frustrated. - We have level seven ghost shields all around the convention, and in every entryway, the most powerful kind of ghost shields ever! I designed them myself with the Fentons, we even used some of Master's technology left in Axion Labs. Not even Danny can touch them let alone pass through them without bursting into flames, not without the genetic lock coded to his DNA anyway.

- Wait, what did you say? - asked Sam.

- The genetic lock, you know, you were there. It works as a barcode scanner so only Danny can pass through the shield. If a ghost doesn't have his genetic code, it can't pass though them, which means only he and Dani should be able to walk in the hotel and the convention - explains Tucker -. It was a great idea. I can't see how it failed either.

- Wait a minute, that's it! That's how they got in. They replicated his DNA - said Sam taking Valerie's arm to use her armor's built in phone.

- Hey! Be careful - she blurts. - I only got two of them.

- What? How do you figure? - asked Damon.

- In our first encounter with those robot wolves, they left after they bit his face, after they made him bleed. I'm guessing they took a blood sample from him to replicate his DNA pattern.

- But they're robots. Robots don't have DNA - points Damon.

- Unless they're made with organic technology - points Tucker. - Remember what Danny said about Skulker, that he had an armor made with organic technology? - asked Tucker to his teammates - Maybe he used that same technology on them. And if that's the case in theory he should be able to replicate his genetic structure in theirs.

- Well, they don't look like Danny - points Valerie.

- I'm kinda lost here, kids - claims Damon.

- They don't have to. Only their DNA has to look like his enough to fool the computers.

- Ok… I'm willing to believe that anything you said actually makes sense - states Valerie
- Me too. -Says her father.
- How could he possibly know that? Only those in charge of the security know about this.

- Maybe there is a mole in our midst - points Dani.

- Wait, if those things have his DNA, that means-the local hook! - yells Jazz. - That's what he attacked first, but they couldn't pass through the shields, but now he can. Maybe this is all a decoy like the last time. Val, Dani you gotta go there now!

- What about about Danny?
- Let him handle this himself, he is a grown man. I'm sure this is nothing for him...
- We're on our way - said Valerie jumping off the sphinx summoning her board flying away with Dani.

- Oh way to go, now we are stucked in a giant cat's head 200 feet over the ground! - yelled Sam with everyone in the sphinx glaring at Jazz.

- …the ground is overrated - she states with her arms crossed avoiding their eyes.

Pad of Definitions

another great chapter, now we see what happens when you mess with Danny's party, if you are are buzzkiller killing people in his party, you'll see Danny go berserk all night long! Now he gonna rock this house until he knocks it down so turn the volume loud, cause it's mayhem 'til the a.m
that¡s eminem
Now I'll put some light into the whole organic technology thing. This is all theorical and seen in many shows or comics, like the transformers and beast wars, or cable's technorganic virus.

Here everything made with organic technlogy, ever since the metal til any other part of an armor or robot it works the same as flesh... only but metalic...

Ok, not much of an exploaion but it would kill the thrill in the in-story explonations. Now as said before Skulker replicted... into his Hellhounds. This is due the fact that in this story organic technolgy has one of tis own, and I guess the same is in other universes.
Imagine the atomic structure of, let's say steel, and shape it to something reminiscent of a ... pattern, that's sort of how its looks.
And no, I'm not going to make spoiler here.
Also, this is implied but some might not get it, Dany new teleporting powers work like Nightcrawler's, he can only teleport himself or other o a place he knows.. You¡ll also see him using it as Castiel or Crowley, ergo the lack or rings or effects to his teleportation.
