Chapter 20; Groups of Trouble
Hiya! I know, y'all are probably wondering why I didn't go ahead and update earlier. Wanna know my answer? I was busy XD lol. I was hanging with some family who happened to come into town, or was planning too, but my mom's car decided it was going to screw up and strand us on the side of the highway. So...now my mom's driving my piece of shit car, and we won't be going to Amarillo for a while...ahh well, nothing fun to do there anyway. Okay, explanation aside, review replies!
FireWolfHeart: haha, our grass ain't doing much...I just hope winter isn't hiding, it's been so warm out here, so nice. As soon as I read your review, my whole, crappy day lit up lol, I hope you enjoy this next chappie too XD.
Jabber185: Really? Okay, I can try to make them longer, not sure how much I'll actually accomplish. Lol and I kinda understand that lol, and hmm...I haven't got any tips, yet, but let me know when you get it up, and I'll totally read it ^.^ lol
Luna WhiteWolf: Yay! I got him right! And I'll make a special note of that for later references! ;D
Oak Leaf Ninja: Haha, thanks! And sorry you forgot his name, thumbs up to you ;D.
Okay, this chappie might feature some fighting, but here we go!
David's POV
I knew that Father could track my every movement, but yet, here I was, racing for my life towards the building my father had seen the cluster of dots on. I had to get away from Claw though. He seemed to sense how tense I was. I didn't put it past my father to have sensed a change in me, but he hadn't addressed that anything was wrong, which worried me more. My sister was right though, I didn't have to fight for Father. The only reason I ever have was because he scared me. I knew the power he had gained since he became full ghost, and I didn't want to feel the pain he could inflict on me with just a flick of his wrist. I never did have a choice. Not when it came to serving him. It was either do as he says, or die. And I certainly didn't want to die after just fourteen years of living.
The weird two story building came into my view and I had to blink in the harsh glare of sunlight reflecting off of the weird metal, thing that was located at the top of the Fenton Works apartment. I had heard from Father that it was called the Ops Center, though why in the world anyone would build something that ridiculous contraption, was hidden from me. Turning intangible, I flew through the walls and then done into the basement. Teenagers stood around in a giant half circle, all facing towards the swirling green ghost portal.
Scanning the crowd, I located Emerald, standing near the front of the group. She stood next to a blue and silver ghost haired girl, who looked anxious. A white haired ghost boy stood in front of all the others, standing right in front of the ghost portal. Next to him was a black haired girl who was murmuring something in the boy's ears. I still hadn't located the halfa I really wanted to see, I floated lower, hovering over the human teenagers heads.
"Whoa!" Someone muttered as my sister and some other boy flew into the lab. The boy was the first to spot me, and his midnight blue eyes met mine and he whispered something to Alex who turned towards me. "Ah, David! So glad you could join us!" She seemed pleased, like she knew that her words would have this effect on me. Everyone turned to look at me, but my eyes stayed on my sister. "Alex, I don't have a lot of time, you know Father is keeping an eye on me, he'll be storming this place soon. His assistant, Claw, has already informed him of your little wolf friend over there." I gestured over to the white wolf who growled at me. "You mean to say that my uncle now works for your father," I nodded solemnly. Alex's eyes grew big.
"Sam, have you given all these kids weapons yet?" Alex turned to the Gothic chick standing next to the white haired boy. The Goth, Sam, nodded and turned to face the other humans. Each of them held up an ecto gun of some sort and let out a warriors yell. "Upstairs!" Alex hollered over the roar and I watched, amazed, as the humans moved up the basement stairs quickly and quietly. Only five humans remained among the halfa group. I recognized Dex from previous encounters, and Sam after hearing her name from Alex, but the other three remained a mystery to me.
"David, come and join us," I noticed that my sister and that other boy had alighted down and were standing among the others. I nodded and joined them, casting a nervous look about the small lab. "Okay, here's the plan," Alex began, looking at each of us with a mischievous look on her face.
Alex's POV
I wasn't surprised when Shadow had spotted David floating above the normal humans. I had been expecting my brother. After all, twin telepathy was very useful when you didn't want anybody else to witness what was being said. But his information did kind of shake me. It didn't matter just yet, what mattered was getting down a plan of action and acting on it.
"Okay, we'll need to split into groups," I looked at each one of them. "Riley, Tucker, Dex, Jazz and Sam, y'all be a group and y'all are in charge of leading those rowdy teenagers. Brief them, but, only about Death and his powers. I'll be up there shortly to let you know what else y'all need to do." I watched my friends depart up the stairs and turned to look at Danny. "From here, we'll split into three groups of four." I let that sink in. Danny and Dani looked at each other while the others looked at each of their comrades. "One group will have five, because of our uneven numbers. Danny with two 'n's and a 'y' will be with Sasha, Luna and Eclipse." The four moved into their group. "Emerald, Saffyre, Shadow and Pepper," Emerald and Saffyre moved together and Shadow took that as two of his team members. Pepper looked at the other three and then back at me with an 'are you kidding me?' look before moving towards them. "Then its David, Dani, Apollo, Artemis and I," Dani smiled at me, then at the twins who shrugged. Everyone stood with their groups, waiting for their jobs.
"Danny's group, y'all are going to move through the ranks of ghost, making sure to blend into the mindless zombies. I need y'all to get these guys to snap out of it." Danny nodded and moved off, phasing through the floor. "Emerald and Saffyre, I want y'all to hide around the buildings, making sure to keep special eyes on Danny's group." They followed after Danny and I turned to face my group. "Our job, get to Death. We'll be in the skies, and David," I turned towards my brother who paled. "He'll be leading us, invisibly of course." The other three turned to look at my brother as well. Are you sure about this? He was using telepathy, so as to not worry the others. Of course bro. If you want, you don't have to enter the building, you can get as far away as you want dude. I wouldn't want you to get hurt; I touched his arm lightly and smiled. David hesitated then smiled back, though it looked more like a grimace.
The other's turned intangible and phased through the ceiling. I hoped they would wait outside; making a ghost appearance inside would cause chaos. Turning back into Alex, I quickly walked up the stairs and joined the teenagers, who were gathered around Mr. and Mrs. Fenton. Waving Sam and Riley over, I hunched down into a corner and studied the two girls in front of me. "I need y'all to create a disturbance, somewhere away from the main building. I don't care what y'all do, start a fight, start a riot, I don't care, just get his goons away from him, and make it easier for my group to access the building." I looked at the other kids. I hate to get them into this, but we really needed the help, and I finally have a chance to defeat my dad. Sam smiled wickedly and nudged Riley. They both nodded and navigated their way towards Tucker, Dex and Jazz, who turned to address the crowd.
Not waiting any longer, I walked outside and joined my group as Echo. We floated above the ground and watched the humans pour out. With another warrior yell, they took off into the streets, hollering and laughing as loud as they could. The goons, who were patrolling the lines of ghost, turned towards the noise, looking annoyed. The teens took off in the opposite direction, the goons following not too far behind.
"So the game starts, let's play ball!"
Finally! I got it up. Sorry 'bout the wait, but fanfiction wouldn't let me onto my account...but it's all fixed now! XD So, tell me what ya think! I think it's coming towards the end pretty quickly, and I hope I can get the fighting stuff done right...lol anyway, I'm getting this up, oh, and Luna WhiteWolf put up a story about her OC Luna, Secrets of the Ghost Wolf, so go check it out!
