Danny Phantom and Astro Boy (the movie)
I do not own Danny Phantom or Astro Boy
Chapter Two
Astro awoke with a groan. He put a hand to his head and rubbed it gingerly as he tried to sit up.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest and fell backwards. Breathing heavily he decided to look at his surroundings.
He was in his guest room at the Fenton's home. How he got there he would never know, and then he looked closer through the shadows. His father was sitting on a chair, his head in his hands, in the corner.
"Hey, Dad, don't do this again." Astro whispered, Dr. Tenma shot his head up and smiled at Astro.
"Toby, what happened? Does anyone know?" Dr. Tenma asked worriedly.
"Um, I heard screaming and I went to check it out, there were two people fighting, and flying, and I wanted to help. The one was looking for me, said something about Stone. Then this boy did some weird attack, and I jumped in front of him, and then he screamed and fell on me!" Astro replied, he didn't know how he remembered all of this with crystal clarity, it must have been because he was a robot.
"This can't be good." Dr. Tenma said as he stood up and began to pace.
Then Astro remembered something important about a certain boy with messy black hair and blue eyes.
"Where's Danny?" he asked, Dr. Tenma twisted a thumb towards the door and Astro shakily stood up and made his way out into the hallway and down to Danny's room.
"Danny, hey, can I talk to you?" Astro asked, secretly fearing there would be no one once again.
"Sure, come on in." came the muffled reply. Astro opened the door slowly to see Danny in his bed, pale and weaker looking than when he had first greeted him, and his eyes seemed to have trouble focusing on Astro.
"What happened?!" Astro gasped quietly as he took in Danny's ill appearance.
"Oh, here in Amity Park ghosts are everywhere, I got hit with a stray blast while out with my friends. I'm fine." Danny assured. But Astro was stuck on one word; ghosts.
"Hey, Toby, what did you wanna ask me?" Danny asked, snapping Astro out of his musings.
"Oh, just, about school and stuff. I was wondering if you could be my guide or something." Astro mumbled out quickly. Danny nodded with a smile and picked himself up from the bed.
"Sure." Danny said with another nod.
"Thanks." Astro replied. Then he left the room, the gears in his head turning (pun intended) as he thought about what Danny had said.
That boy, Daniel, and that man, Vlad, were ghosts!
Astro shifted from foot to foot as he stood in front of the class. The teacher, Mr. Lancer, was standing behind him, and Danny was sitting a few rows back with a reassuring smile on his face.
If Astro had learned one thing about Danny, it's that he was totally self-less, like Astro himself.
"Class, this is our new student. Care to introduce yourself?" Mr. Lancer asked as he directed the last question at Astro.
"Um, I'm Toby Tenma." Astro said quickly without giving himself a chance to think.
Suddenly a voice piped up in the back.
"Toby Tenma, as in son of the legendary Dr. Tenma?!"
Astro nodded to the dark skinned boy's question.
"Man! That's awesome!" he continued. Astro squinted his eyes as he did when he was nervous.
"Please take a seat Mr. Tenma." Mr. Lancer continued. Astro nodded and quickly took an open seat near the front.
Mr. Lancer continued to drone on about the subject for the next forty-five minutes, but Astro already had all the information in his data banks so he had no need to pay attention. He let his senses drift to the chatter going on in the back.
"Dude, you didn't tell me that Dr. Tenma was staying at your house! He's like the most ingenious scientist ever! He's made breakthroughs in robotic technology and rumor has it he made a robot of his son!"
"Tucker, shut up, why would he make a robot of his son if he had the real Toby?!"
"No one knows, some think Toby ran away and Tenma created the robot to replace him, but then he deactivated it when Toby came back."
I hate rumors. Astro thought with a grimace. This was too close for comfort. And Astro defiantly did not like talk or anything that contained the word deactivated, it made him shudder.
Astro glanced nervously at the clock and let out a sigh of relief when it struck its mark and the bell began to ring.
Astro nervously got up from his chair and was about to follow Danny out when Mr. Lancer made a come-here motion with his hand. Astro sighed and walked over, losing sight of Danny and his friends.
"Toby, are you alright? You seem a bit…off…" Mr. Lancer observed. It took Astro a second to respond.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just, nervous I guess." Astro replied with a nervous squint and a chuckle. Mr. Lancer nodded.
"I'm glad, now go ahead to your next class." Mr. Lancer commanded more than suggested, and Astro spared no time getting out of that stuffy classroom.
Astro hurried out into the hallway and rushed to his locker, opening it more by force than the combination, he put his books inside and grabbed for the next subject.
Then he was shoved into the locker.
"Hey! Who's out there? Let me go!" Astro shouted as he tried to see through the small slits in the locker. He gently jiggled the lock on the inside and forcefully pushed it open and jumped out, straight into a jock.
"Hey, newbie, time for your Welcome to Casper High pounding!" the jock said happily. Astro took a step back, not in fear, not in pain, but because he knew what would happen if that kid punched him. That kid would hit metal, and then his secret would be out.
"Leave him alone Dash." Astro peeked around the jock to see Danny and two other teenagers standing there, Danny glaring at Dash with a burning passion.
"Oh, Fenton finally grew a backbone?! Let's see how it bends!" Dash yelled, he picked Danny up by the collar and shoved him into the wall.
"That doesn't even make sense!" Danny snapped at the jock, but the jock twisted around and pushed Danny into Astro's open locker and slammed it shut. Now it was Astro's turn to stand up.
"Hey, I bet you don't have many friends, you scare 'em all away!" Astro shouted to the jock. "With your face and your attitude!" Astro finished, and then, the jock shot him a glare. Astro ran.
"Get back here Tenma!" Astro heard the angry shout behind him, along with the jiggling of a locker and an Oof that signaled Danny being set free.
Astro continued to run; he couldn't let that kid punch him. This would be hard if he'd be the target of Dash's bullying every day.
Astro continued to run, Dash chasing after him, and then he slammed into someone.
It was the kid from before, the one with the white hair and green eyes.
"Danny Phantom!" Dash shouted, stopping in his tracks. Danny Phantom hovered in front of Astro and narrowed his eyes at Dash. "You're my hero!" Dash continued to yelp.
"I don't want a fan that's a bully." Danny said with a glare, and then he turned to Astro. "You okay?"
Astro nodded.
"What's your name, I'm Danny Phantom, but most call me Danny, or Phantom." Phantom stuck out a gloved hand. Astro took it with a smile.
"I'm Ast-Toby! I'm Toby!" Astro quickly, said, mentally slapping himself for almost giving away his identity. Phantom turned back to Dash.
"Now go." He said simply, and the jock obeyed.
Phantom turned to Astro and smiled, and then with a wave he turned invisible.
Astro smiled, he was one step closer to solving why that Vlad person had been searching for him.
