Danny Phantom and Astro Boy (the movie)

I do not own Danny Phantom or Astro Boy

Chapter Four

Astro was backed against the wall of a building near the docks. Sam, Tucker, and Danny all surrounded him, Danny leaning weakly on Sam and Tucker looking him over nervously.

"Um, you aren't gonna tell anyone are you?" Astro asked with a nervous fake laugh.

"Depends if you explain or not." Sam snapped, shaking herself and dislodging Danny, she quickly righted him as he began to tilt.

"Um, can we go somewhere else? I don't feel good." Astro confessed, it was the truth after all. He felt horrible, sick, feint, he needed to sit down or something.

"Really, I don't think robots are supposed to feel anything…" Tucker said to himself, thinking out loud, though Astro heard and he lowered his head.

"Oh, so you're pin pointing stereotypes on me?" Astro accused. Tucker instantly realized what he had said. "I'm not just a robot; I have human emotions and thoughts! I consider myself human, now you know why I didn't want anyone to know!" Astro shouted, his hands fisting.

"So you are a robot?" Danny asked. Astro lost his anger and nodded.

"So, how can the rumors about Dr. Tenma not be true?" Tucker accused quickly, Astro realized how tight of a spot he was in, and he let out a sigh of defeat and began.

"You're talking about how I'm a replica of Toby, and that Toby ran away? Oh, that's close, but not true. The real Toby Tenma… the person I have the memories of and look like, he's dead. I only go by Toby to keep my secret safe, I prefer Astro actually." Astro said quietly, he didn't like dwelling on the thought that the human Toby was dead, and he was only a replacement, but now he was Dr. Tenma's son no matter what.

"You're Astro?" Danny whispered, but shook his head quickly. "I mean- cool name, Astro, sounds a little space age, I like it." Danny covered up.

"Oh. My. Gosh." Sam said slowly. Danny continued to shake his head.

"I'm sorry Astro." Danny said sadly, his mood switching from shock to apologetic.

"Why are you sorry?" Astro asked, surprised.

"We forced you to tell your secret, we won't tell, we promise. Everyone has secrets." Danny replied, looking away.

Elusive as ever. Astro thought with a smile.

"Thank you guys, thank you so much." Astro said genuinely, just as a small car pulled up with a screech to the building.

Dr. Tenma jumped out and rushed past the three and grabbed Astro by the shoulders.

"Toby! Are you okay? What happened son?" Dr. Tenma said, ignoring the three teenagers behind him.

"Yeah dad, just, turn around." Astro smirked, turning his dad around to face the trio.

Danny, Sam, and Tucker smiled and waved sheepishly. Dr. Tenma turned to Astro.

"Toby…"

"Yeah dad?" Astro smiled and squinted towards his father.

"What happened?"

"I'm not sure, just I kinda blacked out and then I woke up… and the hatch was open." He confessed. Dr. Tenma gave a small gasp before abruptly pulling up Astro's shirt and pressing his fingers on his chest and opening the small hatch. "Dad! Its fine, nothing happened to the Blue Core! I'm alive aren't I?!" Astro said, shutting the hatch and pulling away from his father. Dr. Tenma turned to Danny, Sam, and Tucker, quickly looking to Danny.

"What is wrong with him?" Dr. Tenma asked, motioning to the weak Danny as Astro joined their group, Astro began to groan as well as the two got closer.

Dr. Tenma grabbed Danny's shoulders and wrenched him away from the unsuspecting Sam and Astro. Danny and Astro both instantly recovered.

"Something is wrong." Dr. Tenma observed. And then with a yelp from Danny he pushed Astro and him into each other. Both instantly let out screams of pain and fell to the ground, Astro jerking wildly as Danny lay on top of him and Danny stiffening, both were screaming. Sam and Tucker bent down and grabbed their friends and pulled them away from each other.

Dr. Tenma reached down and pulled his son over to him, opening the hatch again and watching the Blue Core intently. It flickered briefly every time he got near to Danny.

"Why did you do that Dr. Tenma?!" Sam yelled at him, he turned to her.

"I know what I am doing; I would never intentionally harm your friend or my son. But you have to tell me everything about Danny so I can figure out why the Blue Core reacts to him in such a way." Dr. Tenma replied, picking up Astro as Tucker and Sam picked up Danny.

Astro blinked open his eyes and stared around him.

For those of you still counting, that's three times I've been unconscious in the past week. Astro thought with sarcasm and a growl. He looked over through the room to see he wasn't in a room, but in a lab, and he was laid out on a long table. The strangest thing was that Danny was on an identical table a little ways away.

"Toby, lay down." His father said suddenly as Astro attempted to sit up. Astro obeyed and lay back down.

"Dad, what is going on? What's wrong with Danny?" Astro asked worriedly as he looked over to Danny. He didn't seem to be unconscious, just asleep; he wasn't pale or breathing heavily at all.

"We're going to find out. I was just about to call Dr. Elefun." Dr. Tenma replied to his son. Astro nodded, but just as quickly asked another question.

"Why are Danny and I both down here… where's Sam and Tucker?"

"Sam and Tucker left because of their curfews. I asked the Fenton's if I could use their lab for research and then I snuck you both down here." Dr. Tenma confessed, and then he turned back to the phone in his hands. "Now I'm going to call Dr. Elefun."

Astro sat back and stared up at the ceiling, pretending to relax as he listened into the conversation.

"Dr. Elefun, sorry to be disrupting you. It's an emergency concerning the Blue Core." Dr. Tenma said into the phone.

"What is it?" Dr. Elefun replied, slight panic in his tone of voice.

"The Blue Core is reacting strangely to this boy Toby has befriended, and since you are the expert I was wondering…"

"If I could come and figure out the problem?"

"Yes, and if its anything to ponder, the boy has been unconscious for awhile now." Dr. Tenma put in.

"What happened?" Elefun asked, the panic again rising in his voice. Astro winced nervously and looked over to Danny who was fidgeting as if nervous as well.

"I have no idea, but when Toby and the boy, whose name is Danny, touched, they both instantly passed out and began to scream." Dr. Tenma said, beginning to pace.

"I'll be over as soon as possible." Dr. Elefun responded, and then both hung up. Astro went back to resting, along with waiting for Dr. Elefun to come and examine him and Danny.
