~ I Do Not Own Danny Phantom or the Teen Titans~
Chapter 6 ~ Meeting Slade
Danny's POV
After a stressful first day of work, I just about yelled with relief when my shift ended. I sighed instead and smiled softly. I walked inside the building and into the back room. I dropped off my apron in the back room closet, and then I walked back outside. I ran behind the building and, making sure the coast was clear, I transformed into my ghostly alter ego. I took to the sky quickly and smiled as I flew through the air high above the city. I rolled onto my back while flying, and flew in the general direction of my new home.
I stared up at the setting sun and smiled closing my eyes, relaxing. Thank God that the Titans didn't try asking any questions about me. I didn't want to have to answer them. My smile slowly faded when I thought about how the robot guy and the green dude had the argument about what type of pizza they should get.
Just like Sam and Tucker. I sighed sadly and opened my eyes looking up at the darkening sky. I ran a hand through my snow white hair. I miss them so much. I felt tears coming to my eyes then growled to myself and pushed them back. I rolled back over and took off at full speed to my new home, wanting to get there as soon as possible.
I slowed down when I arrived and glided down and phased through the roof and landed on the floor of the room that I had picked as my own. I transformed back to my human self and ran my hands through my hair again trying to gain control over my emotions.
"Ahh. So I was right about you two being one and the same." I heard a strange voice say from behind me. I whirled around, my eyes wide.
There was a man sitting on my bed with a black and bronze colored mask over his face. He only had one eyes spot on the mask. He wore a black outfit with metal like armor on his arms, around his neck, waist, and legs.
"W-What? Who are you?" I asked a bit more shocked to find someone in my room without me realizing it.
"Me? You can call me Slade." he said, his eyes staring at me as if I were a new interesting specimen under a microscope.
I narrowed my eyes. "Alright...Slade. What are you doing here?" I asked preparing to build up and ecto-blast, to defend myself if he attacks.
"Why I just came to see how young Danny-boy is faring after murdering all he has ever loved and cared about." Slade said with mocking innocents.
"I NEVER MURDERED THEM!" I yelled and charging up an ecto-blast and threw it at him. Slade moved out of the way quickly and he chuckled when my blast hit my bed, destroying it. I glared Slade while I felt the blue transformation ring appear.
"Ah ha, Danny-boy." Slade mocked and he jabbed something into my side before I could even move. I screamed when electricity coursed through my body stopping the transformation rings in it tracks and caused them to vanish. The pain from the electricity continued to tear through my body even after he pulled the device away. I dropped to my knee's holding my stomach, panting heavily.
When the pain finally faded, I looked up in shock. "W-what?" was all I could managed to say.
Slade held up a device that made me freeze on the spot. I felt myself stop breathing as I stared at it with shock and fear. "Ahhh. So you remember it. I believe the man I got it from, called it...the Plasmius Maximus?" Slade said with a chuckle. "But he told me that he improved it...he said that he made it stronger so that you will be disabled for a longer amount of time. I think he said about 12 hours." Slade said looking down at me with a smile in his eyes.
I growled softly. "I don't need my powers to fight you!" I yelled and I launched myself at him and punched him in the face before he could react. His head snapped back and he stumbled a few steps. I jumped up to kick him in the chest with my right leg, aiming for his sternum. But before my foot made contact, he grabbed my foot and twisted it. Hard. I heard a loud crack and a millisecond later I felt pain radiate up my leg. I cried out and Slade flung me across the room and slammed me into the wall with enough force to crack it. I fell to the floor with a loud 'thud' and I hissed with pain when my foot hit the ground.
"Mmm, I must disagree with you, Danny. You are no match for me in human form." Slade said chuckling softly, his eyes held amusement.
I pushed myself up to my hand and knee's and glared up at him. I used the wall as a support as I pushed myself up to my feet, careful not to put any pressure on my leg. I glared at him with open resentment then I glanced around to find an escape route.
"How did you find me?" I asked trying to keep him busy.
"I have been keeping tabs on you where-about since the accident that you caused." He added. He crossed his arm across his chest with a relax pose.
My eyes snapped back to him and I snarled "I DID NOT CAUSE THAT!" I yelled feeling my blood boil. "It was not my fault." I said softly, mostly to myself, but he heard.
"Oh but it is you fault. I you had not dodged those rockets then they might still be here." Slade said with a cold laugh.
"No!" I said. "Skulker caused it. Those were his rockets!" I yelled closing my eyes as painful emotions raged through my heart.
"True. But you were the intended target. If you had taken the attack then they would not have hit the Nasty Burger, over heating the Nasty Sauce, causing the place to blow sky high." Slade replied calmly, almost dramatically, taking a step toward me.
My eyes flashed open and I glared at him. "No! Don't come any closer to me!" I hissed through clenched teeth.
But he kept coming closer. One slow step after the other.
"Get away from me! Get away!" I yelled closing my eyes, wishing I could use my powers.
"SLADE!" Someone yelled.
I opened my eyes and looked at the door way to see leader of the Titans standing there. He pulled out a rod and it expanded. His masked eyes narrowed and his teeth were bared.
Slade stopped his approach and turned to look at the Titan eyes narrowed back at him. "Ahh, Robin. I did not expect to see you this soon." He looked back at me, his eyes filled with annoyance. "Consider yourself spared. For now." With that said, Slade reached behind him and pulled something small and round out, and slammed it on the ground filling the room with smoke.
I covered my mouth and coughed as the smoke started to invade my lungs. Dropping to my hands and knee's, I started to hack up the smoke when it started to cause me trouble with my breathing.
"Danny!" I heard Robin yell and I looked up at him and saw him running at me through the smoke. I weakly raise my hands up in defense, expecting to be attacked, but instead, he grabbed my arms and he yanked me up to my feet, then he turned and jumped through the window, breaking it. I felt my vision growing hazy as we jumped through the window, glass showering down on top of us.
I felt Robin shifting my position in mid-air so that one of my arms was thrown over his shoulder, and his arm was on my back. When we landed on the ground, pain spiked through my leg when it hit, causing me to whimper. I closed my eyes and bit my lip to keep from crying out.
BOOM!
A loud explosion vibrated the air behind us. I knew that it came from the room I was staying in and that the whole building was going to be burn down or was going to collapse.
I felt Robin half carrying me half walking me, a safe distance away from the burning building. I forced my eyes open and I looked up at Robin, whom had pulled something small and round out and was yelling into it. Probably calling for back up.
Once we were across the street he laid me down on the cool grass, and he looked down at me with a worried expression. "Hey Danny, you'll be fine. The rest of the Titans are coming." I heard him say to me, but it hardly registered in my mind. It sounded more like he was saying it at the very deep end of a tunnel.
Tired of fighting to stay awake, I sighed softly and I closed my eyes giving into the darkness that was pulling one me.
~ So...What did you think? Oh and to those whom are Reviewing, don't think I am ignoring you reviews, I don't reply to your reviews mainly because I don't have time. But if I do reply, you are very lucky because you review caught my eye. I do read them and I realize that I have a lot of miss spells and grammar mistakes because I'm terrible with that stuff (but yet I love English class at school and last year I passed with a 96% as a over-all grade...how does that work? lol) but I'm pretty sure I could find a few in yours too. Lol. And I'm pleased that everyone is liking my story. Thank you all!~
