Hey, guess who wrote another chapter? (*Points to self*) Yes, I have triumphantly returned, riding a wave of euphoria made of reviews and follows! (Thank you so much to everyone that reviewed!)
That didn't make any sense. Oh well ;)
I don't own Danny Phantom! *Cries in corner and then asks self why self thinks crying in a corner is useful and decides to go to ADCTDCTI (Ancient Desktop Computer That Doesn't Connect To Internet) to keep writing*
Previously:
Danny lifted his head, wincing in pain and clutching his chest. His confident words shattered the heavy silence. "None." With that, he whipped the Fenton Thermos out from behind his back, and the blinding blue beam sucked in first Shinegami's minions, then Shinegami himself.
The uncertain students slowly started to join in the clapping and cheering. Danny, fighting to keep his eyes open, gave a weak smile and a wave before collapsing.
Mr. Lancer couldn't tell if his most puzzling student was unconscious or simply asleep.
Still staring contemplatively at Mr. Fenton, he was the only one to notice that the peculiar thermos had begun to glow an ominous toxic green. To his increasing alarm, it began to shake and rattle, the glow suffusing across cracks that were splitting the metal.
Mr. Lancer, in a sudden fit of heroics, shouted, "To Kill a Mockingbird, Mr. Fenton, look out!" As he was speaking he flung himself out of his seat and hurled himself, potbelly and all, at Danny, pushing them both out of the way as the Fenton Thermos suddenly burst into an explosive shower of fragments. Shinegami reformed, his features formless beneath the black cowl of darkness. A malevolent cackle cut viciously across the students' renewed cries.
The teacher, who normally prided himself on his no-nonsense, sensible demeanor in chaotic situations, was frantically shaking the dazed halfa. "Mr. Fenton! Daniel! Oh, for the love of Moby Dick, WAKE UP!"
Sky blue eyes fluttered open, a hazy gaze attempting to focus on the face of his teacher. "Mr. Lancer?" He mumbled, head lolling. "What's going o-" He caught sight of Shinegami, who was currently wrapping up his diabolical laughter, and his eyes immediately narrowed, muscles tensing, and mouth turning down in a determined frown.
The panicking teacher was still staring at the previously unconscious – or nearly so – teenager, and even his not-so-observant gaze couldn't miss the abrupt change. "...Mr. Fenton?" He queried uncertainly.
Danny's eyes flashed back to Mr. Lancer, whose rapidly racing thoughts stumbled and shouted, Are his eyes green? The boy scrambled to his feet, swaying unsteadily, and stammered, "Um, um, I have to use the bathroom! Bye!"
Before the beleaugered teacher could do more than stretch out a trembling arm to stop him, Danny was racing across the gym, or trying to. Between his normal clumsiness and currently dizzy state, the teenager was tripping and staggering more than he was running.
One of Shinegami's minions floated across to the isolated human, not even bothering to be stealthy. Poor Mr. Lancer didn't even notice until it was too late, too busy gazing in horror as he saw a glowing blast of icy blue light hit his student square in the chest – exactly where the ghost had shot him earlier.
The minion cackled evilly in an oddly similar way to Shinegami himself as the teacher went down without a sound.
Line Break
Sam and Tucker's crowd control attempts were cut short at the explosion that sent fragments of Thermos flying across the room.
Shinegami had escaped.
"What do we do?!" Screamed Sam over the ghost's chilling laughter.
"I don't know!" Tucker shouted back. "We can't do anything with all these people here!"
"Danny's unconscious! We have to do something!" Her helpless gaze stared desperately at Danny's limp form, eyes watching unseeingly as Mr. Lancer shook the halfa back into consciousness while her thoughts churned and ran in circles
Tucker's PDA was in his hands faster than should be physically possible. "We've got the Fenton Lipstick Ray, spare Fenton Thermos, Fenton Ecto-Dejecto Blaster, Fenton Insect Ghost Repellent, Fen-"
"That's it!" Sam shouted.
Tucker tore his eyes away from his PDA to stare at her incredulously. "Insect repellent?"
"No! The Ecto-Dejecto Blaster! Grab it and shoot Danny!"
His face lit up in understanding. "Oh! Because it actually - "
"I KNOW," Sam screamed, "NOW DO IT!"
Fingers fumbling in haste, Tucker snatched the blaster from his backpack and sighted it on Danny.
Ready. Aim. Fire.
The blast hurtled through the air and struck Danny, knocking him off his feet. Sam unconsciously crossed her fingers – they were out of time. While the two had been frantically brainstorming, Shinegami's minions had begun snatching all of the adults present and knocking them unconscious, starting a pile of comatose teachers in the middle of the gym, with poor Mr. Lancer flung roughly on top.
She would have found it funny if the situation wasn't so desperate.
Ta dah, cliffy! If anyone is confused about the Ecto-Dejecto Blaster, don't worry - so am I. I couldn't remember the name of that stuff that was supposed to destroy ghosts but actually helped them...I don't know if I used the right name for it, so if I am wrong please tell me!
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
