Chapter VII: Killer Ants and Man Eating Plants

Danny continued to make his way through the Amazon jungle. This was definitely one of the worst days of his life, first, he got kidnapped by Skulker and is now being hunted by him, he's almost been hanged, eaten and recently drowned, Danny never thought quicksand would mostly be water. He was wondering what was taking everybody so long to find him. It's been hours, they should have at least noticed he wasn't there.

Even though Danny was a Halfa, that didn't mean he doesn't need to eat or sleep. If they don't find him soon, he's pretty much good as dead. Danny could already feel himself getting a little tired, but he needed to keep moving, at least until he was rescued.

Suddenly Danny felt himself falling again, however, having done that a lot today already, he's gotten used to it, started to hover over the ground. Having stopped himself from falling, Danny stood up and looked to discover the cause of the trip. As he guessed, it was another root, almost hidden from his sight. Which was weird, Danny didn't see it ahead of him before, it's like it just appeared out of thin air.

Danny turned around to continue his journey; however he managed to hear a faint noise coming from behind him. Danny turned around, but to his surprise nothing was there, not even the root that had tripped him before, it had disappeared.

Danny started to become more cautious and frightened, was he losing it, was there something with him. Danny also dreaded the realization of what he just noticed; there was not a sound in the air. Until now, Danny could hear the sounds of animals and birds faintly, but there was nothing here, and he sensed something, he sensed death, and something constricting around his leg.

Danny quickly looked down to see a vine, come to life and wrap around his leg, starting to pull him deeper into the jungle. Danny aimed his hand at it and fired a Ghost Ray at the plant, slicing it and spilling green liquid across the ground, some got on Danny, which burned him. Danny screamed in pain, the liquid was like an acid, it was eating away at his Ectoplasmic flesh. The strange thing was, it was only eating his flesh, and it was not dissolving other plants or pieces of wood that it had landed on.

Danny tried to stand up, however his burning leg wasn't allowing him to do so. Just then Danny felt himself being grabbed; he looked down to see a much larger vine constrict around his chest and arms. Danny tried to break himself free, but as he tried, small amounts of the corrosive fluid came out, burning Danny all over.

Danny then felt himself being lifted up into the air; Danny watched in horror as the vine lifted him into the air and dangled him over a large pit, which looked alive. Danny felt his spine shiver as it opened up, revealing moist walls lined with teeth. Animal bones scattered all around it, strong vines were growing out and around it, almost like tentacles, and a huge version of a Venus fly trap was in the middle of it.

It moved towards Danny and opened its mouth, revealing teeth and moist tongue and throat, Danny was instantly haunted with memories of the "Urban Jungle" incident. Team Phantom had started to call certain encounters and battle a name. The Urban Jungle incident, Danny remembered it all too well and was one of the few times he thought he would not make it; it was one of his most haunting memories.

He remembered Undergrowth, the living plant ghost, who could not be killed; he remembered his town being overgrown with weeds, trees, carnivorous plants and vines. He remembered witnessing Undergrowth taking over the minds of his friends and family, as he could do nothing to help them. He remembered the horror of the vines digging into the back of their heads, growing into their brain's eliminating anything that made them the people he cared for, turning them into mindless drones and he remembered…Danny could feel his body shaking with terror at the very thought…he remembered…Sam.

Danny was haunted by more memories, as he tried to return to reality, only to remember he was about to be eaten by a plant. Danny could already smell the gut wrenching, revolting and nauseating aroma of rotten flesh and decaying bodies. With nothing else to do, Danny knew he had only one option, which was going to hurt.

Danny formed and Ectoplasmic blade and sliced through the vines holding him, its corrosive juices striking him. Danny landed on the ground, acting quickly; his green eye's turned an icy blue as he activated his ice powers. He blasted the plant with a hailstorm of ice, freezing it solid, to make sure, Danny ran up and delivered a powerful host ray to it, shattering the vile vegetation into millions of icy pieces.

Danny stopped for a minute to catch his breath, and waiting for his burns to heal, and then noticed something strange. Danny walked over to the pit where the plant was taking root and there was something there. Danny hoped down to get a closer look, there was a strange crystal growing out of the ground, it was dark green, almost like an emerald. Danny reached out to grab it, and as he did, it started to glow…Ectoplasmic green. Danny broke a piece off, whatever it was, it was worth giving to his mom to study, and maybe give a piece to Sam.

With that Danny climbed out of the pit and continued to make his way through the jungles of the Amazon, or at least it was a jungle till now. Danny looked to see a huge area of the jungle gone; it was all flat earth, with a few trees growing here and there, and huge piles or dirt and rock. Danny guessed it was about a five minute run from one side to the other, it was risky, but it would be quicker than having to go around.

Danny walked out into the area, making sure there was no sign of danger, or Skulker before starting to make his way through the flat area. However, Danny started to get the feeling that something was still wrong, there was still no animal life around, but wasn't that because of the plant. Suddenly Danny felt a sharp, burning pain on his foot; he looked down to see an ant biting his leg.

Danny bent down to get a closer look at it, it was bigger than the ones that you can find at Amity Park, its body was red and orange, with black, soul-less eyes. Danny grabbed the insect and tried to get it off, but it had a strong grip, with its mandibles biting into his flesh, Danny ripped it off, however one of its mandibles was still in his leg. Danny turned intangible as it fell out; he looked back at the creature, and with his enhanced hearing, heard the sound of an ant, calling for backup.

Danny could feel the ground beneath him shake a little, as if millions of tiny legs were stomping all over it. Danny looked at one of the piles of dirt, as thousands of ants started to erupt from the top. Danny looked around as the others did too, it looked familiar like…Danny suddenly remembered, and this was just like in the fourth Indiana Jones movie, killer ants. Danny turned and ran, as fast as his legs could carry him, not even daring to look back, dreading the sight of a million insects' right behind him, ready to eat him from the inside out.

Danny decided to risk by stopping as he entered green vegetation. He looked behind, breathing a sigh of relief seeing that he had managed to out run the ants. But his relief quickly turned to fear again, as he turned around to stare straight at the sharp, poison dipped, tip of an arrow.

After this chapter I will have no intro or outro until the last Chapter, hope you enjoy the story, and please review
