Chapter II: To Trap a Phantom
It was just another normal day in Amity Park, school had just finished for the day, students were heading home, and there was a biker tearing up the streets. It was none other than Johnny 13 and his partner Shadow. He sped through the streets, almost running people over and phasing right through other vehicles, causing them to stop and crash into each other. Johnny laughed at the sight, enjoying his joy riding.
Just then an Ectoplasmic blast passed his head; Johnny looked at Shadow, who flew off. Johnny looked behind to see Team Phantom chasing him; it was about time he thought. He looked to see Sam and Tucker catching up on him, on their new tricked out scooters. They pulled out Fenton Foamers and started to shoot at Johnny. Johnny looked at the road, and saw Shadow make its way towards them. He laughed as Shadow grabbed the shadow of Tucker's scooter, bringing it to a halt. Tucker went flying over the edge, landed hard on the hood of a car.
Johnny turned back to see huge truck coming right towards him, Johnny wanting to play chicken, increased his speed and headed right for the truck, hoping it would dodge. But as he got closer, he got worried, it wasn't giving up. At the last moment, Johnny turned intangible and phased right through the truck, which disintegrated into the air.
Johnny looked back; the truck had completely disappeared, before Johnny could figure out what was going on, he turned back to the front, only to have a white fist collide with his face, knocking him off his bike. Johnny landed on the street with a hard thud, he lifted his hand and felt his nose, it was broken and leaking Ectoplasm. Johnny looked up to see a figure standing over him, and watched as his bike skidded to a halt, crashing into the side of a building.
Johnny looked at the figure, and realized who it was. Johnny tried to crawl away, but the figure reached down and grabbed him by his coat, he then threw him into the side of a car, leaving a huge dent in the side of the door. Johnny looked on with fear as Danny Phantom, The Halfa and protector of Amity Park walked up towards him, his eyes completely glowing green, which all ghosts have learned meant he was really, really ticked.
"What's the big idea Phantom; I was just having a joy ride"
"A joy ride? A JOY RIDE! You call this a joy ride, do you have any idea what you're joy ride has caused?"
"Just having a little fun, ok maybe some vehicles got dented"
"A Few, one of your stunts caused a casualty"
Johnny looked down the road, he saw the lights of sirens, and an ambulance that had arrived too late, he then looked back at Phantom, and then he realized, what this meant. This was the first time Danny had failed to save someone, the first time since the whole Ghost King invasion that someone had actually died.
"What, I didn't mean to hurt anyone, I just wanted to cause a little mayhem, I was angry I had another fight with Kitty"
"Johnny, I'm going to make something crystal clear, if I ever catch you causing mayhem in my town again…"
"I get the picture"
With that Johnny called Shadow and the two of them ran to the crashed motorcycle, and disappearing into The Ghost Zone. Danny watched as the two of them disappeared, Sam walked up to Danny and put her hand on his shoulder, he just shrugged it off, until he noticed whose hand it was.
"Danny what's wrong"
"Sam, someone died, Johnny's whole joy ride thing caused a death"
"Danny you can't always save everybody, and look at this whole thing, it's a miracle that no one else was killed or hurt"
"Then what good am I, how can I protect this town if I can't protect all those who live in it, today it was one, but what if something worse comes along, I just need sometime alone"
With that Danny took off into the blue sky. Sam noticed Tucker walking up behind her, holding his shoulder, which must have been sprained or at least have a cracked bone. Sam looked around at the whole seen. She spotted a small metal sphere and picked it up.
"Well on the bright side the Holographic projector works, Johnny couldn't tell that truck was fake" said Sam.
"Sam?" asked Tucker.
"What?"
"You alright"
"Yeah I'm fine why"
"I can tell when you have something on your mind?"
"I don't know, I…Tucker, doesn't Danny feel a little different?"
"Different how?"
"I don't know he's a little more aggressive, protective, I feel like he's hiding something, ever since he came back from the dead"
"I'm sure it's nothing, he's probably jest getting used to the increased powers and having been dead"
"Maybe you're right"
"Just give him time"
Danny was flying over Amity Park, he just needed time to adjust, but yet he felt different, he couldn't get Clockworks words out of his head, should he tell his friends about them, it was probably nothing, but, no for now he would keep it to himself, at least until he knew what they meant. Suddenly his ghost sense went off, Danny flew to the ground.
Danny looked around, it was a dark alley, there was nothing here, but Danny knew there had to be, his ghost sense doesn't go off unless…Danny quickly jumped out of the way as a net flew passed his head and attached it 'self to the wall behind him. Danny turned to see who his attacker was, but he pretty much already knew, he watched as Skulker walked out of the shadows.
"Skulker, I thought you'd given up by now"
"I'll never give up, I'll be the one that kills you if it's the last thing I ever do"
"Look I'm not in the mood right now, so I'm giving you the chance to just go back to The Ghost Zone, before anything happens"
"Hmm…tempting offer but I'll pass"
"Look how many times have we gone thought this, I always win"
"Not this time, this time will be different, this time will be the last time, I will kill you or I will die trying"
"You okay Skulker, you have that I've gone insane look in your eyes?"
Skulker's shoulder popped out revealing a long tube, it aimed itself at Danny and fired. Danny felt something sharp jab him in the chest. Danny took a step back due to the force of the shot; Danny looked down at his chest to see a container with a fluffy feather at the end. Danny pulled it out, revealing a long sharp needle, it was a tranquilizer.
"Ow, that hurt, and seriously Skulker a Tranquilizer, you've tried that before, it doesn't work"
"It will this time"
"It's going to take a lot more than this to…"
But before Danny could continue, Skulker aimed again, and fired shot after shot; Danny felt pain as tons of tranquilizers hit his body, ejecting its formula into him. Danny felt this head become heavy and light at the same time, his body was sore, his eyes droopy and he felt like the energy was drained out of him.
"Is that enough?" asked Skulker, grinning.
"…that…about…do it"
Danny staggered a bit before he fell to the ground, asleep. Skulker grinned, his plan was working, he had captured his prey, now all he had to do was get to the hunting ground, where no one can help him, it would be the hunter and the prey, for the last time, Skulker shot a net around Danny, and flew off, carrying the tranquilized Halfa with him.
I don't know I think the charcaters might be a little weird in this chapter, if it's fine I'll leave it, but if this dosn't feel right please let me know so I can fix it, hope you enjoyed this story so far and stay tuned for the next part
