Chapter XIV: Festering Wounds
Dan Phantom
I smiled as I looked up at the Fentonworks; at last revenge would be mine, "Ready or not here I come," I said becoming invisible and flew into the building. I looked around the all too familiar place trying to plot my attack. "Now Danny is up there, so I think soundproofing is needed here," I said putting up an sound proof ectosheild around the house and flew up to my 'room'
"Stupid Dex, I hope I never see him again," he said holding a cloth to his head but dropped it as his ghost sense went off. "I'm not in the mood Box Ghost so just go away!" he snapped as I laughed watching his eyes grow wide. "YOU!" he said transforming into his ghost half. "How did you get out of your thermos?" he asked blasting me but I blocked it.
"You honestly thought that would hold me forever?" I asked him grabbing his neck and flung him to the ground. "There's been a coup in the Ghost Zone and I am now master of time," I told him as he gasped as blasted me to the ground.
"YOU LIE!" he snapped getting up, "What did you to Clockwork?" he demanded to know as I got out the staff ready to freeze him in place.
"You need a time out!" I taunted pressing the button but nothing happened. "What the heck is…," I began to say until it hit me- he still has the time medallion in him. I would have to do this hard way no matter I need the exercise.
"Looks like your time ran out," he said about to attack until I took Jorgen's wand and aimed it at him. The beam hit him square in the chest sapping his powers and transferring them into my body. The boy hit the ground with thud. "What did you do?" he asked as I smiled.
"I have a new toy," I said aiming it at him and conjured magical chains around his body. "not even you can escape from the ghost boy!" I taunted him slamming him into the ground knocking him unconscious. "Sleep while you can Danny, " I told the boy as I opened a portal smiling at my victory that I have waited so long for.
Timmy
"I don't understand why you put up with all this?" Anti-Cosmo asked as I crawled up into bed wincing as it hurt to move even an inch. "That ruffian had no right to…," he said until I held a out to quiet him. I didn't want to talk about it as it would no good.
"Do you think you would hand that book over there," I said pointing to the copy of the Bible the cardinal brought with him. "I just want to study," I say as Anti-Cosmo poofs it to me. I didn't know Latin but I thought maybe I could fake it- after all most of the big stuff is pretty well known.
"Why doesn't Wanda see about taking you away from this horror?" AC asks wiping his monocle as I shake my head. They've tried every loophole to see if I could live but Jorgen's refused every time citing some ancient treaty that said only fairies can live there. "I forgot about that stupid thing," he said trying to make you smile.
"AC?" I asked looking up at him, "what is nacre-necra….that word Borelli said?" I inquired, I don't know why ectoplasm made him so furious but I wanted to know what type of things would set him off.
"It's called Necromancy, Timothy," he explained, "it means conjuring the dead, he saw the ectoplasm on you and thought you were involved in some dark practices," he explained producing a glass of water for me. "You need to rest, forget about the Cardinal," he said as I took a sip. "I have an idea, why don't you talk to your friend Danielle," AC said as I smiled thinking of hearing her voice.
"I wish I could talk to her," I said as he waved his wand and a cell phone appeared in my hand. I dialed her number but all I got was static. "What would cause a magic phone to malfunction?" I asked worriedly as he raised an eyebrow at me.
"What do you mean?" he asked taking the phone and looked at it worriedly, "I think I better could get Poof in here to look at this," he said poofing away as I began to hope that Danielle was okay.
Sam
"What is about that family that makes everyone crazy?" Tucker said with a mouthful of Nasty Burger in his mouth. "I mean they could show some common decency," he complained as I rolled my eyes at his hypocrisy. "What are you looking at?" he asks me.
Before I could say anything the doors opened up and two people came rushing in. One was a woman with dark skin and black hair and the other was an elderly man dressed completely in red. "Those two you eminence," the woman said pointing to us as she and the man walked up to us.
"Good day, children," the man said, "I am Aldo Cardinal Borelli and I was wondering if you could help me out for something," he asked as me and Tucker looked at each other nervously. I was wondering if you have Taroku Tybalt Toyaka," he said as Tucker made a face.
"I don't know anyone by that name, Al," Foley said as the cardinal glared at him trying to correct him but Foley, "what?" he asked confused unaware that he had committed a faux pas. Before this turns into something ugly I got between the geek and cardinal.
"You have to forgive my friend, your eminence he has a thick skull," I said smiling, "I'm sorry we haven't seen Taroku since earlier today," I said as the man frowned, "but if we see him I'll tell him you were looking for him," I said as the cardinal and the woman left. As much I despise him, I also pity him as he has to put with that shrew of mother.
"Don't you know anything about addressing clergy?" I snapped at Foley who just shrugged, "never mind just get our food," I told him as I saw we were next up.
Portia de Garmeaux
"I feel like a need a detox session after that experience," I said as I walked up the stairs and entered my room. I can't believe that Reynolds actually made me go into that place but it did get me out of dention. "I can't believe that Anna actually likes the little wretch," I complained plopping on my bed and called Mary.
"Hey Porsh, what's up," she said answering the phone in her usual way, "I heard you got dentition," she asked as I rolled my eyes. It was probably that little Danielle girl who spread the news and I will have to make pay for it later.
"Yeah, Reynolds caught word of our little welcoming party for the Fenton girl and threw the book at me," I said as I told of how managed to get out it.
"You actually went into the Toyaka house?" she asked disgusted, "Is it true what they say about the little runt?" my friend asked curiously, "I heard that he's illegitimate is kept hidden away from the family," Mary went on.
"He is secluded, but that's not what I heard, Mertle told me that he was kidnapped from his…," I began to say as I heard a tapping noise, "I have to go, parents are here," I said hanging up and walking up to the door as the tapping got louder. "OKAY, I HEAR…," I said opening the door but no one was there. "Very funny Ambroise," I said thinking my younger brother was behind and went back into my room.
I decide to check email as I was expecting one from Mary on whether or not we were going to the mall this weekend. "Now let see how many tweeted me," I said logging on to twitter when I heard the tapping again. "This isn't…," I said as I stopped midsentence as I caught a glimpse at my window. "What the…," I said getting up and saw a large bird at my window.
It was covered in green feathers (it wasn't even a beautiful shade of green, it was a slime green) and had gray tufts of hair around its neck and head with red eyes. Its beak was a shade of blue and was dented like he had hit it a window one too many times. This all paled in comparison to its worse offense, it wore a hideous red fez with a skull on the front.
"Ugh," I said as opened the window hoping to scare it but it stayed there. "Get out of you stupid ugly bird!" I shouted as it made a face at me.
"Hey when you turn 2009 toots you won't look like the beauty queen you are today!" he snapped dropping something in its claws. "Here, and next you insult me I am going to get my friends after you," it said as flying away. Dumb bird, I will remain young forever.
"Let see, what that addled brained bird wanted anyway," I said looking at the envelope. It was a letter from the DALV Corporation. "It must have gotten l…," I began until I read the note. I smiled in glee at what I saw, "everyone in school will know this," I said sending the news to everyone in my address book.
Danny
"NO!" I screamed as I raced towards the Nasty Burger, hoping that I could make it in time. It was time that started this horrid cycle of events; because I didn't have time to study for the CATs I had doomed the world to evils unspeakable.
"You're too late!" the monster chided me from inside the thermos. I was about to retort but then it happened- the nasty burger exploded into a million pieces I had failed. The shockwave sent me flying it the air without my ghost powers I was unable to control where I was going.
"NOOOO!" I screamed as I was hurled away from the ruins and towards what seemed a lake. Not wanting to witness myself drown I closed my eyes but nothing came.
"Do it again he's waking up," a female voice said in my ears as then awoke in a cold sweat and drenched with water. I slowly opened my eyes and saw what looked like two small people floating in front of me one male and other female.
The man was dressed in a white shirt and tie with black pants and shoes, he would looked like a normal person save for the fact he had messy green hair and eyes. He wore a gold crown on his head and wings similar to a fly's were sprouting out of his back.
The woman was dressed in a yellow shirt and black paints. Her hair and eyes were pink and like the man she had a crown and wings. "Thank goodness you're alive we feared the worse," she said smiling as I looked at her.
"Yes, however this is no time for celebrations," the stern and familiar voice of the master of time warned as Clocked floated towards us. "I had hoped you were strong enough to defeat Dan," he said as I raised an eyebrow. "I will explain everything," he said turning to the man and the woman, "you'll have no need to fear that any of Da Rules will be broken. I am the Master of Time and supersede Jorgen's authority and if he still complains he will have to wait behind the Observants as they reserve the right to complain first," he said with a faint smile, something told this was going to be a long story.
Sophia
"What is taking those three so long," I complained as I looked at the time. I never liked Borelli his family were kissed up to ours knowing that their success hinged on what we said. However, I never had the gall to tell it to him, he's a cardinal and one bad word about us to his friend Pope Benedict could have excommunicated and that would be the end of our salvation.
"I don't know why you suck up to him, he's a pompous self righteous old fogey," Dex said as he came down the steps with an empty tray. "Well psychopath is fed," he said as I heard the door in the hall open.
"I can't believe Taroku would run away like this," Fiona said with worry in her voice, "we should have continued checking," he said upset as I chuckled at her concern.
"We need to rest up my dear, besides work is nothing without prayer," Borelli said as he and my sister came in the room. "Ah Sophia, dinner smells wonderful," he said taking off his galero and sat down. It was his one flaw- the cardinal loves food and his known to hold lavish banquets for his friends in the Vatican.
"I hope you like, we're having roasted salmon," I said, "I know you voluntarily gave up meat years ago," I told him bringing the meal to the table. "kainashi! Anna! It's time to eat," I shouted as the little piece of garbage and his cousin came into the kitchen.
"Did you have any luck in finding Blade?" she asked as Fiona sighed in frustration, "I have a right to know," she said as Timmy looked at her pleadingly knowing full well his 'mother's' temper.
"No," Borelli sighed before things got out of hand, "but nothing is impossible for God, we will find him," he said looking at Anna's clothes, "that is hardly what a young lady should wear," the cardinal said frowning.
"You know, it's not the middle ages anymore Borelli!" Anna snapped standing up, "whatever happened to 'don't judge lest ye be judged!'" she accused as the cardinal glared at her his temper flaring. "The only reason…," she went on until Borelli stood up.
"abbastanza, tengono la vostra linguetta!" the prince of the church hissed as he walked away angrily with Sophia running behind him trying to calm him down.
