SURVIVING THE TITANS!

Chapter Ten: Oh, Great!

Casper High- Monday:

Beast Boy was talking to Raven when they heard shouting. "What's that?" Beast Boy questioned.

"GHOST!" Star, a blond girl, shouted as she ran by their door.

"I'll give you one guess." Raven said as the two of them raced out into the hall where they soon ran into Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg.

"What's going on?" Cyborg asked.

"Ghost!" Beast Boy said throwing up is arms.

Robin glanced back to where the kids where running from. "Come on!"

Mike ran wildly, screaming like mad, until he knocked himself out as he collided with the lockers.

"Now I will-!" Skulker stopped when the rope connecting the net to him was cut; stopping the shock waves that were torturing his pray.

Danny looked to the source existed thinking he'd gotten help only to freeze when he saw the Titans. 'Oh great.'

"TITANS! GO!"

The Teen Titans tore into the room and Skulker turned to face them- only to get blasted in the face by two green globs.

"Man!" Cyborg said, holding up two Fenton goo-guns. "These things work like a charm!"

Danny broke out of the net and tackled Skulker, but was hit back as the robot swung at him and rubbed the slimy green substance from its eyes. Danny collided with the wall and setting up painfully wiped away spit from his mouth. Growling he stood and prepared to tackle the ghost again, when the Titans jumped in and kicked Skulker around like an empty can. Danny watched for a few seconds shocked before he pulled out his thermos and the ghost was sucked up. Leaving Skulker's empty suit to fall to the ground. Cyborg continued to pond in the face until he realized this. He stood hiding the metal behind him. "Hee, we did it!" He cheered throwing the head.

Danny smiled putting away the thermos. Starfire went up to him and he took a nervous step back. She bowed. "Thank you Phantom."

Danny smiled again. "You're welcome."

Robin walked up then. "Where did you get that thermos?" He pointed to the belt where Danny had attached it.

"Uh…" Danny stuttered.

"Who cares!?" Cyborg said. "He just helped us kick some major ghost butt!"

"Well, actually." Danny said rubbing the back of his neck. "I borrowed it."

"See," Beast Boy said. "Told ya!"

Robin looked at him long and hard, making Danny nerves. Danny swallowed; his hand gripping the back of his neck tightly. Robin smiled lightly before shrugging and heading to the door, pausing he looked back. "Come on Titans, let's go." The other Titans left looking confused.

When they were gone Danny turned human, and smiled at his friends.

Maybe things where starting to go his way after all.

Monday After noon- Casper High Cafeteria:

"We were so lucky." Sam said.

"Yeah." Danny agreed. "Skulker's new upgrade puts the 'ow' in outdated."

The three laughed at the bad joke only to stop when Dash appeared standing next to their table. "Hey Fint-ina! I told you, you were going to pay! And I don't see your supper bodyguards anywhere!"

Danny swallowed it was true, the Titans were scouting the school still. "Oh great…" Danny mumbled. "Uh, well…"

"Well? Well! Well get ready because this is going to hurt! I guarantee it!"

Danny closed his eyes preparing for the hit when his ghost sense went off again. "What? Another one?" He looked around nervously just as Dashes fist flew toward him and he suddenly remembered his current situation.

"AH!" Just before he tasted fist, a black wall rose between the two of them.

"Wha-?" Dash gaped, but Danny only stared shocked, recognizing instantly what it was. Turning quickly he saw Raven standing there with Beast Boy. "You're not worth it…" Dash growled before stalking off.

"Yeah! You better run!" Beast Boy sent after him.

Raven gave the boy a dull look before tuning to Danny. "You okay?" She asked, not sounding to concerned.

Danny nodded, "Yeah, thanks for the save back there, I owe you one." The girl just snorted, and Danny looked a little disheveled with her attitude. "I did-"

He stopped as mist danced form his mouth again. "What-?" Beast Boy asked noticing. "What was that?"

"N-nothing!" Danny stuttered covering his mouth as he ran out of the lunch room. Quickly he found a hidden area and went ghost, and soared out above the school spotting the ghost. It was the dragon. "Dora?" he wondered aloud, but no, it couldn't be. He watched as the ghost went ramped- destroying everything in its wake.

"ROAR!" It cried. "Give it to me!"

Danny shrugged. "Well if you insist." He soared down and hit the ghost dragon square in the nose sending it crashing to the ground.

"GIVE!" It growled at him.

"Phantom!" Danny spun to face the red hunter.

"Oh, great!" Danny cried; he was starting to think it was his new favorite statement. (Going to the movies? Oh, great! They're out of dessert? Oh, great! I'm being hunted? Oh, great! OH, GREAT!)

"This time you won't escape!" She amid at him.

"Sorry Val, I'll have to play later!" He called back as he dogged her blast and the Dragons vengeful claws all at once.

He spun and focused more on the dragon. Quickly he flew over it, just as it turned to spit fire. Spinning Danny swooped down gliding parallel to the dragons neck, and grabbed the amulet as he passed. Quickly, the ghost dragon milted away; leaving a little girl. Danny caught her in his arms and sat her on the ground. "What happened?" She mumbled as she stood wobbly.

"You got sick." Danny said startling her. "You should go home." She nodded, watching with wide eyes as Danny took back to the sky.

She waved goodbye, before she did as he said.

Danny was just about to the school when he was hit by Valerie again from the side. "Don't think just because you saved that kid I'm fooled, I know you're no good, ghost!"

"I don't have time fore this Valerie!" Danny yelled. "I don't want to fight you!"

"Sure!" She fired again, and Danny dodged again just as the Titans ran out to see what was going on. 'Great.' He thought as he went invisible and shot down through the ground.

"PHANTOM!" Valerie yelled after him. "DON'T YOU RUN FROM ME!"

Robin waved at her motioning her to land. She did. "Who are you?" He asked.

"Valerie Gray," She said as she removed her helmet. "Amity Park's best ghost hunter."

"You know Phantom?"

"Know him!?" She growled. "He ruined my life!"

"Hold on." Robin said intrigued. "Start from the bagging, what do you know about him?"
