Well here we go! Thank you for reading!
Chapter 9: The Enemy Alarm.
(Jazz Fenton's POV.)
The library: a place of silence, tranquility, study, and whose phone is going off?
I jerked my head up and looked around with a scowl that could scare even Plasmius. No one disturbs my precious study time, and- whoops, it was my phone going off.
I pulled a sparkly pink cell-phone out of my handbag and read the caller ID. I answered it and asked quietly, "What is it Swan? I'm studying."
"Jazz! You'll, like, totally never guess what I'm watching!"
I slammed my palm into my face, "For starters Swan, do I even want to know?"
"Um, yeah. You'll, like, even want to know."
"Alright then, hit me with it."
"Okay, your Mom right? She's totally on the news!"
My brow furrowed, "Are you sure?"
"Yeah! Your Mom's name is Maddie right?"
I pinned my phone to my ear and gathered up my books, "Yes, that's her. Which station is she on?"
"The news station."
Typical answer, "Who's the anchor Swan?
"I think it's that Tiffany girl. She's got pretty hair."
"That'd be channel four, I wonder if Danny's watching this?"
"Your brother? He's cute."
I nearly dropped my phone, "Not you too, Swan!"
"It can't be helped Jazz; but you just might want to give that Goth girl a warning."
I grinned and exited the library. Last summer, Danny, and Dani spent their summer in the Ghost Zone training together. We didn't see much of them, but afterwards, Danny came back to school almost three inches taller. He also didn't fit very well into his old cloths, and couldn't hide his height or build anymore.
I'd been told (by girls I did, and didn't know) that if the expression "tall, dark, and handsome" had a name. It'd be Danny Fenton.
"I'll make a note of that Swan." I climbed into my convertible and started up the engine, "Thanks for calling me. I need to hang up now, I'm driving."
"K, see ya later!"
"I'll see you later, too," I started up the engine.
On my way home I listened to a radio broadcast of Tiffany's questions, and Mom's answers. Well, at least the ones that made sense over the radio.
Mom told me about the F.A.P.S. weeks ago, so I was only surprised with what it had to say about my baby brother. I mea,; I knew Danny was powerful, but "Highly dangerous?" well, maybe The F.A.P.S. thinks so. After all, robots can only calculate the stats, not the truth.
I pulled up to the house as I listened to Tiffany Snow, on her live broadcast, (which was also being aired on TV) "On a similar note, Phantom's ominous attack has officially been nicknamed by various citizens as Phantom's great, "BOOM of DOOM."
WORST park job in the history of my life, I could hardly steer I was laughing so hard.
Inviso-Bill, meet your match.
I started for the house, carefully made sure not to drop my books or burst out laughing again. The door was unlocked, thankfully, so Danny must've gotten out of bed already. I entered the house and placed my backpack by the door, then turned to the living room.
Danny and Tucker were staring each other down, each in a slightly aggravated stance. I choose to quietly sneak into the living room to ask Sam what'd happened.
I doubted she'd help instantly; she looked extremely irritated and slightly bored.
They didn't seem to notice me, so I nearly jumped out of my skin when Danny and Tucker shouted.
"BOOM of DOOM!"
"INVISO-BILL!"
I nearly fell over. The boys still glared at each other.
Tucker started, "Inviso-Bill is WAY lamer then Boom of Doom! For Pet's sake! Boom of Doom sounds like something from a cheep-old, video game!"
"Yeah," Danny said, "Well BOOM of DOOM is SO much worse! At least with Inviso-bill they had the general idea!"
Meanwhile, I turned to Sam, "Are they seriously having this argument?"
"Yep."
"You think they'll stop anytime soon?"
"Nope."
I sighed and watched Sam, as she watched the boys. A change came across her face, and I briefly wondered what her twisted sense of humor would cook up for this situation.
Change gone, she spoke, "Hey lovebirds."
I couldn't believe it; but Tucker and Danny turned to her, "WE ARE NOT LOVEBIRDS!"
Sam and I fell to the floor laughing, Tucker and Danny turned red.
Between wails of laughter I tried to speak, "Did you guys seriously-ha ha fall for that?"
The boys sputtered and tripped over their own words, and talked incoherently.
Tucker tried to change the subject, "So, um, why don't we just watch the news or something?"
"Yeah," Sam said, "and try to forget what nimrods you two are."
"Citizens of Amity Park," someone said.
Tucker, and Sam instantly turned towards the TV. Danny did the same and charged an ecto-blast.
Note to self: even the sound of Vlad's voice alone makes them tick and act defensively.
The four of us relaxed a bit when we realized that no, the TV wasn't going to kill us. Tucker absentmindedly turned the volume up.
Vlad gave the regular, formal greetings, and introduced a few other people standing on stage with him. He spoke from behind a podium in city hall, as he talked into half a dozen microphones, "Today, as you all know, we are gathered to speak openly regarding the terrible damage inflicted onto our Amity Park mall."
He went on, "Damage almost solely caused by town "hero" Danny Phantom." He leaned into the microphones, "I trust that you have all heard plenty talk about the damages."
A screen lit up on the wall behind Vlad that showed a slide-show of the mall before and after that fight, "These damages can no longer go unnoticed as the ghosts continue to grow in power. So now, I turn your attention to GIW investigator, Agent C."
Vlad stepped down from the podium and briefly shook hand with Agent C. Then A.C. stepped up to the microphone himself.
What can I tell you about his appearance? Standard uniform, graying brown hair, buzz cut, and that's about it.
"Thank you, Mayor Masters." A.C. (Agent C) faced the gathering with a stern expression, "I will spare the usual pleasantries; there are urgent matters to attend to. In recent times before the battle at the mall, the GIW considered Phantom to be an objective. But now, he has proven himself to be a priority of the most dangerous degree."
I could feel a dangerous glare come through his sunglasses and the TV all at once. Danny tensed on instinct.
"Following the GIW regulations regarding Phantom's power, and the rate at which, his power grows. Coupled with the immense damage Phantom has caused. Makes him highly dangerous, and therefore."
"He must be destroyed."
Yes, another G.I.W.'s out for Danny story; but I promise you, this will be unlike any other *Snicker.*
YES, Swan. The older, and not much smarter sister of! QUAN! KWAN! Or however his name is spelled! I had NO name ideas, and Jazz's friends never show up in the show, don't flame me too hard!
My entire weeks been tossed around, so I didn't get as much in as I'd hoped, but since A.C. came around while writing this chapter, the story will go much smother.
A.C. = Agent C. In the same way, Agents O, and K have been declared, A.O. and A.K. When combined, the resulting team (that will appear later) is called T.O.C.K. (Team. O. C. K.) Crazy I know.
And now, I'm off the bathe the cat! Joy…
See you Sunday!
