The two soared the skies, on the way Tucker seemed oddly annoyed. Danny was flying to the park, but for Tucker knew the route, he saw Danny fly to a different direction.
Tucker looked up at Danny, with the annoyed expression on his face. "Dude, where are we going?" he turned his head on the path to see they were on a familiar street "I'm pretty sure this is not the way to the park."
"I just-" Danny stopped to sigh, feeling a bit ashamed "I just want to see if Sam is okay.". Tucker gave a pfft with his lips, hearing the alternate plan.
Danny suddenly stopped, which made Tucker even more annoyed that it was a cold hard stop. Though, his face suddenly turned shocked as Danny's seeing Sam's parents and grandmother outside of their home, but Sam was not there. Danny flew closer to the three, who were standing side by side, and placed Tucker gently on the side walk near the adults and elder. With his ghostly tail wiggling, he flew to the parents, Tucker following, and floated right above them.
"Mr. and Mrs. Manson," Danny started "what happened? Where's Sam?". No one seemed to not want to answer. Sam's mother's face was covered in fear as her spouse just looked at the ghost boy. The grandmother's face was at the ground, feeling a bit frightened as well. "Did she-" Danny paused thinking the worst but his spirits were lifted when the grandmother finally spoke.
"Sam is okay." she stated "But our Samantha disappeared when a dragon came. We're only predicting that the dragon wants to eat her or something.". Granny opened her arms and yelled "
The ghost boy's face was still shocked, but sadness overwhelmed him in a quick second. After another second, his face then turned determined. "Don't worry, I'll find her." he pounded a fist on his chest then placed it down. Danny looked down at Tucker and gave a command "Tucker, stay here and examine the place if Aragon left anything." Tucker gave a nod and ran off right away for clues, "I'll deal with the dragon."
Danny flew to the park, still having determination to find Sam. "I'm here Sam." he panted in a soft whisper, as he floated above the park. Danny's jaw lowered a bit, seeing no one was there⦠until he heard a scream. Danny kept on flying straight to the screams, the boy gave a gasp seeing people running from sudden orange flames racing behind them. Some of the flames stopped, which gave the people a chance to run farther.
"It's Danny Phantom!" yelled a young girl, pointing at the flying ghost boy who was going to the direction of the flames. At last, he saw the dragon, standing on it's fours, roaring around the park. To Danny's surprise⦠the dragon was not Aragon. "What?" he gasped out seeing that it also was a female dragon.
The dragon had no amulet around her neck. The dragon was also smaller than Aragon, for he was eighteen feet, this dragon was at least two times and a half less the size of Danny. As he flew closer, he saw that it's head was dolphin like except it had a komodo dragon's snout, with large dragon ears popping out of it's head, with three small membranes that were at the side the head, that fins connected to each membrane. A beautiful, yet small, mane that started at the back of he dragon's head that ended to the close tip of the tail was as black as the scales of the dragon. Great , huge, bat like wings hanged out of it's back. For the fore and hind legs, were like a human's but covered with black scales and muscled, and the fingers' nails were only deep grey claws.
The dragon looked up at Danny, with it's purple eyes, which had a slit black pupil, and seemed to gave a soft growl at him. "I don't know who you are," Danny said angrily with the expression of frustration "but I know you did something to Sam.". The dragon seemed to give a surprised look, before it gave a horrifying roar at it. It gave a gasp of fire, which went to Danny's direction, but luckily he turned intangible for it to pass through.
Danny charged at it with an ectoplasmic glow from his hand. The unknown female dragon was too fast, she jumped up at the boy and grabbed him with her arms. The dragon then pinned the boy to the ground, letting him to look at it's face. Danny struggled to escape the dragon's claw, for he was amazed he oddly couldn't phase through it. The dragon gave a snarl, as it lowered it's head down to be face-to-face.
The dragon's pupils then turned round and the dragon gave soft, growling, coos. Danny's face turned into concentration, seeing that the dragon didn't breath it's fire at him. He raised an eye brow in confusion, seeing it still cooing. "Are-are you trying to say something?" Danny asked the beast. In that very moment, before the dragon can even nod, a green ectoplasm beam shot the dragon to it's right direction, being blown off of Danny and it crashed in a far distance from him.
Danny looked at his left to see what was the reason. It was Tucker, who held the laser lipstick in a shooting position, letting some of the shot smoke escape. Tucker placed it close to his mouth, and cooled the smoke off. "Tucker!" Danny exclaimed, either in a happy or surprised tone.
"No prob, dude." Tucker smiled and placed the lipstick in his pocket. He ran to Danny and picked up Danny, then the two looked at the dragon who gave an odd sorrowful roar. The dragon flapped it's wings, slowly was lifted into air, and flew off. The wind of it's powerful wings blew into their faces but something actually hit Danny's face. "I think there's something on your face." Tucker pointed at the black object that seemed light as paper.
"No duh." Danny said as he took off the object. He examined it and realized what it was. "It's black fabric from clothes." Danny clarified as he handed it to Tucker and changed back to Fenton.
Tucker gave a puzzled look "I don't get it, if that's not Aragon, who is it and why would it have a piece of someone's clothes?"
"I don't know, but we'll figure out soon."
Night had came, still no sign of Sam. He flew away from Sam's house, for he had told the family his progress. He also looked for the dragon in the city, for it started to get really late at night. Danny was really high in the sky, looking down at Amity Park's buildings. Something caught Danny's green eyes at a building that was shaded blue by the moon's light. It had a flat roof top, with something black laying motionless, at the roof. Danny had already knew that it was the dragon, seeing it's tail wag slowly.
Danny turned invisible and landed the roof gently. At this closer view, he saw the dragon was laying down, seeming sad and weary. Danny turned visible, seeing it at a lowly state. The boy walked closer to the dragon, until he walked in front of the dragon's head. It laid down on the ground, then it's head rose to look up at Danny. It gave another soft coo when he looked into it's eyes. Danny's heart suddenly gave him a message, it is her, it said.
"S-Sam?" Danny stammered then shuddered seeing the dragon actually twitch it's head. Danny remained still as the dragon slowly got up and looked at Danny. He stood there, seeing how beautiful the beast is in the night, as the mane blew gently with the wind. The dragon and Danny gave a long look, then the dragon rubbed it's head on his chest, wanting comfort. It then pulled it's head slowly away and nodded. "Sam." he gasped, then asked "Can you talk?". Sadly she shook her head.
A sudden siren from a police's car startled Sam that she practically collapse as if she was dizzy. Sam then ran to the edge of the building, and gracefully, flew off into the night. Danny was left to watch the beauty of the beast, seeing it fly off into the moon light. When he was in his room at Fenton Work's as Fenton, in his bed, he looked up at the ceiling, still thinking about Sam, hoping she will be okay. In the back of his mind, he wondered how she was able to turn to the beast herself, but though, he was just glad she was safe and alive.
