Learning From the Past
A/N: Sorry for the long over due update, I guess I just started slacking off my stories. Or I've been losing my touch. I kinda been having writer's block, but that's only because I've been doing a lot of essays lately so my brains is fried. But hopefully this chapter is good.
Summary: The world is in dire help and requires the assistance of "Team Phantom" but what happened to the team that was so successful back in the day. What happened between Danny and Sam that made them so distant? Will this team be successful in saving their world, or will their past prevent them from doing so?
Chapter 3:
As Danny approached the building that the fright knight was in, the amount of nervousness he was feeling couldn't be described. He had a feeling that something was wrong…very wrong. With a sigh he turned off the car and everyone exited.
Opening the car's back door, Sam couldn't help but be impressed by all the guns and weapons inside of it.
"How do you get by security and check points with these?" She asked. Danny shrugged.
"I just show them this." He said pulling out an I.D. Sam gawked at him.
"You made it into NASA?" She asked. Danny gave her a funny look.
"Yeah I did, I sent you an email two years ago…didn't you read it?" He asked. The hurtful expressions on Danny's face made Sam pale and feel guilty. Back then she would have deleted any messages she got him, looks like it came to bite her in the butt. "Did you read anything I sent you?" He asked, his voice was slowly cracking. She swallowed.
"I um…I'm sorry…" She said looking away. Danny frowned.
"Wow…that's pretty hash Sam." Tucker said. Sam glared at him.
"Yeah, well the fight we had was pretty harsh wouldn't you think?" She snapped. Danny's eyes snapped up at her.
'You're still on about that fight? Wow, you really must've hated me then if you didn't even read the apology letter I sent you." He said grabbing an ecto gun and stuffing it in her arms.
Sam stared silently at him, what could she do? She couldn't lie and say that she did read it, because if she had she would have given him a call and told him. She wanted to forgive, she really did…but her pride wouldn't let her. And here Danny had stuffed away his pride and written her a letter for it, and what did she do? Heck the minute she saw that letter she crumpled it up and tore it to shreds.
"Come on, let's get going." Danny said pushing right past her. How could she have deleted his emails and letter? He worked too damn hard on that letter! He put all his feelings and emotions into it, and what does she do? She throws it away.
His emotions were spiraling in heated anger. He had a right to be angry, not only did he make the first move, but he was willing to move past it and fix his mistake, but if Sam wanted to hang onto to that stupid fight then fine with him, he was done with trying to console her and apologize for something that wasn't his fault.
Entering the dark warehouse was fairly simple, "Keep a sharp eye for any movement." Danny said. His team members nodded. But it only took him a moment to realize something, "It's a trap!" He said. The group of friends looked at him, but Tucker laughed for a moment.
"Oh my gosh Danny you sounded so Han-Solo at the moment." He said. Danny glared at his friend, but he stopped when his ghost sense went off. He barely had time to move when the warehouse lights flashed on, blinding them all momentarily.
"Welcome Ghost-brat!" A dark eerie voice said. Danny's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth at wherever the voice came from.
"Come on out fright knight!" He said. The voice chuckled.
"Gladly." He said, but before he came out a purple ball of electric currents came hurtling out of the shadows. Danny pushed Sam out of the way and the others ducked. He quickly got up and helped her along too.
"Going Ghost!" He shouted as a white beam appeared out of his torso and trailed up and down his body. Sam smiled; it had been a long time since she had seen him in ghost form.
Danny squatted down before shooting off the ground and into the air. He formed a small beam in his hand for extra light, but that was a wasted because before anything could be done, the final lights inside the warehouse flashed on and the team was surrounded by an array of ghosts.
"Jazz look out!" Danny said as he grabbed Jazz before an energy ball could zap her, but he was zapped in the process and he fell to the ground with a groan. His friends soon joined him.
"Nice to see the team reunited again." The fright knight said walking up to them.
"What do you want with us?" Danny asked as he got up on his knees weakly and looked up. The medieval knight laughed darkly.
"We're just stalling you." Came the reply.
"Stalling us from what?" Jazz asked.
"Why from Zethal of course, if we didn't stall you, then Zethal wouldn't be killing your loved ones right now." He said. The room went quiet, everything seemed to have stopped moving.
"What?" Danny growled. The fright knight smiled.
"At this very moment, Zethal is traveling to every spot your loved ones are. He is killing them as a warning." The fright night said. Sam's eyes widened.
"Elliot?" She whispered, Danny heard her little whisper and his eyes flashed a dark green. He wasn't going to let Sam's happiness die down, even if that meant he had to rescue some other dork that was her happiness. With a growl he stood up and tossed an unsuspected ghost ray at the ghost. The fright knight yelled in surprise.
"Move! Everyone to the car!" He shouted. The team members quickly got up and made a run for it.
Once arriving Danny looked back and kept the ghosts at bay. He yelped letting the team know he got hit. He looked down at the deep cut on his arm. He gritted his teeth.
"Danny!" Jazz cried out, pausing to look at her brother. Danny faced them; his eyes were a bright green.
"Don't worry about me, just get in the car!" He yelled as he turned to fight off more ghosts. Without thinking, Sam fired her gun at one ghost and smiled as the target was hit dead on. Danny smiled at her, but nonetheless told her to get in the car.
Breathing in deeply Danny let out a ghostly wail that pushed the ghosts back. The building they had previously been in was beginning to give in and started to crumble. As the wail died down the building crashed down onto the unsuspecting ghosts, momentarily stunning them. Smiling Danny pulled out the thermos and quickly sucked them all in.
He flew after the car that was already moving and phased into the backseat while turning back into his human half.
"Phew, talk about a demolishing day." He said. The other members yelled in surprise, one at which he smile in satisfaction.
"Danny, if I told you once, I'll tell you again, stop scaring us!" Jazz snapped at him. Danny shrugged.
"What's the fun in that?" He asked. Sam rolled her eyes in amusement. Still the same old Danny she knew. She noticed that Danny was staring at her and the two quickly blushed and looked away.
Tucker noticing that through the front view mirror chuckled. "Lovebirds." He muttered, their reaction to it made him smile all the more.
"We're not lovebirds!" The two adults in the back seat said in unison. Tucker shrugged and pulled out his device.
"Yeah sure," He sneered, "The last time you guys said that was when we were teens, and you guys actually went steady. So say what you want, but we all know the real answer to that word." Tucker said, causing his two friends to blush harder.
"Stupid know it all geek." Sam mumbled under her breath, but other than that, the ride home was a quiet one.
The sky was still dark as Jazz pulled into Sam's apartment, but the words the fright knight had said made Sam dash out of the car.
"Sam! Wait!" Danny said and he too followed after her. Sam ran to the apartment and up the flight of stairs. She mentally cursed herself for choosing to live on the top floor. She could hear crashes and noises. A neighbor stepped out with frightened eyes.
"What's going on?" They asked, Sam ignored them by pushing past the person and continuing her way to her home. She jumped when she saw her couch fall out of her window and onto the street. This was bad…very bad! She ran faster than before, please be ok! Please be ok! She begged the heavens. She felt her lungs burning and her muscles were beginning to tire. She could still hear Danny's voice calling out to her, but she didn't dare stop, she needed to get to Elliot, no matter what.
After seven flights of stairs, she finally made it to her door on the eighth floor and tried not to panic, but it was in vain. When she saw her door it had a giant burnt hole in it almost as if someone had blasted a laser into it.
"No…" She said breathlessly and she ran inside, "Elliot?!" She cried out, "Elliot?!" A small groan could be heard in response and she immediately began her search. The living room and kitchen was a wreck, the upstairs of the apartment was worse. Again she heard another groan of pain and she ran to the room she shared with him.
She gasped at the sight. Elliot was in the middle of the room curled up in pain. "Oh my gosh, Elliot?" She cried out running to him.
Bubbles...bubbles... Bubbles... Scene change...apples
Danny ran into the mostly destroyed house and prayed that Sam was alright, please don't do anything stupid, he thought at he turned ghost and flew upstairs.
Whooo! Man is this intense or what?! All this drama! Man this is exciting! Am I right?
So what's gonna happen? Who is Zethal? And why is Sam being so mean?! D:
