To Guest: I'm actually pretty terrified on how you knew that. I didn't even tell my brother about this character.
And without further ado, here's the third chapter of Dimension Chasers.
Danny tumbled out of the green portal, protecting the unconscious Danni. He got up and looked around. The portal had appeared in an alley and Dan was nowhere to be found.
Danni groaned and transformed back to human. Danny did the same.
"Come on, Danni!" he said. "Wake up! We've gotta stop Dan!"
The girl didn't stir.
"Danni?" Danny asked, shaking her.
She didn't react.
He set her down on the pavement and rubbed his hands together. He raised them above his head and they gave off a faint green glow. "Clear!" he yelled, and slammed them down on Danni's chest, giving her a light ghost stinger.
The female Phantom shot up with a scream. She spun around and fired two ectoblasts from her eyes. Danny quickly made a ghost shield.
"Danni! It's Danny!" Danny yelled.
Danni immediately stopped. "Whoops, sorry, dude."
Danny lowered his ghost shield. "It's okay."
The girl shook her head. "Stupid reflexes. What happened?"
"You used your ghostly wail, passed out, Dan opened a portal to another dimension, I jumped in with you, you transformed back to human, I shocked you away with a ghost stinger, you attacked me, you asked what happened, and now we jump back to the present where I'm explaining all this to you."
Danni grinned and rolled her eyes. "Whatever. So my dimension is the opposite gender of your dimension. What's this dimension like?"
Danny walked out of the alley they were in, pulling up his hood. Danni walked up next to him.
"Amity Park, California?" the female Phantom asked. "That makes no sense! Amity Park is in Illinois!"
"Maybe in our dimensions it is," Danny said, walking up to a sidewalk that overlooked a beach. He leaned on the railing. "But I don't think it is in this one."
She leaned on the railing next to him. "Dude, lose the sweatshirt, we're at a beach in California." She glanced to the side and spotted a boardwalk. "On second thought, scrap that. Hope you brought money, halfa boy."
"What?" Danny asked.
She grinned, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him to the boardwalk.
…
A pair of teens leaned on a rail on the boardwalk overlooking the beach.
The male wore red swim trunks, red sandals, a white T-Shirt saying "Amity Park, California", a pair of sunglasses, and a baseball cap that hid his hair.
The girl wore a blue cover-up over a red bikini with white flip-flops and dark green sunglasses. Her long black hair was down.
"Shocking to see what a few layers of clothes can do, Danny," Danni said, looking at her companion. "I can hardly tell that you're Danny Fenton."
He laughed. "The only thing that makes me wonder is how much different this dimension is compared to ours. I know there's the location but I feel like there's something else…"
"MERMAID ATTACK!"
The two looked back at the beach to see a mermaid version of Desiree wreaking havoc. Suddenly, she was shot with a green blast from below and went sailing into the air before falling back underwater.
The two Phantoms' gazes were focused on the water where she had disappeared. There were some green and pink blasts from the blue as mermaid-Desiree fought with someone. Suddenly, there was a blue flash and a boy surfaced.
Danny and Danni just barely hid gasps. It was this dimension's version of Danny Phantom.
Dimension 3-Danny waved a thermos in the air proudly before diving back under.
"What. Was. That?" the duo whisper/yelled to each other.
Danni turned around. "I think that was him."
Her male counterpart looked to see her pointing at a photo of a merman-Danny. He still had the white hair and green eyes but didn't wear a shirt. He wore a necklace that had the DP symbol on it instead. His fingers had white webbing in between them. Instead of legs, he had a black fish tail that ended in a graceful white fin and he had a white dorsal fin running up his spine. Two black fins were behind his ears and he had gills on his neck.
"Apparently his name is Danny Fishtail," Danni said, reading the poster.
Suddenly, she and Danny both gasped and twin blue wisps floated out of their mouths. They glanced at each other before looking up.
A silhouette of a buff man with a cape stood out against the sun. He quickly flew away.
Both Phantoms' eyes glowed green. "Dan."
They sprinted off.
Down on the beach, another person had spotted Dan. He had raven hair and blue eyes and wore blue shorts, a red t-shirt, and white flip-flops. He was Daniel Fenton, the human form of Danny Fishtail.
….
Fishtail roamed the streets of Amity Park, searching for the shadow that had crossed over the sun. He was in his human form and it was getting late. The sun was setting and eerie shadows were cast along the city. The good thing was that no one was out late, so he didn't have to be worried about being spotted.
What did worry him though was the… creature… that had been the silhouette. It wasn't a merman or a mermaid (they couldn't fly). So what was it?
There was a crash in a nearby alley. Fishtail's eyes flashed green as he tiptoed over to the alley.
He walked in slowly, trying to make as little sound as he could in flip-flops. Dark shadows were cast across the entire alley as he sneaked in. A rat scurried across the path in front of the half-merman. A large shadow was on the brick wall next to him.
It was just a cat.
The boy groaned. "Of course!"
He stamped out of the alley muttering about dumb cats.
"Going somewhere?"
Fishtail froze at the voice. It seemed oddly familiar.
"H-H-Hello?" he asked hesitantly.
His own voice reverberated off the buildings, echoing around, sounded like his voice did in his merman form.
"It's not smart to turn your back on your enemy."
Fishtail spun around, blue eyes wide. A figure stepped out of the shadows, cape swaying in the wind.
The half-merman's eyes went wider. "Y-Y-You! You shouldn't be here! You should be in the thermos!"
Dan Phantom chuckled. "I'm not the Dan you know. In fact, I'm not even from this dimension." He jumped into the air and powered up an ectoblast.
Fishtail's eyes narrowed. He powered up a green blast of his own and shot it at the futuristic ghost.
It missed.
Dan's blast hit right in front of Fishtail. The half-merman was sent flying back before landing hard on his back. Yup, two ribs broken. That'll be fine with super healing.
A pair of white boots nailed Dan in the chest, sending him spiraling through the air.
Danni Phantom smirked at her hit. Danny Phantom appeared right next to her.
"Nice," he commented.
Dan growled and came charging at them.
"But not good enough," Danni finished.
She sent a wave of ice at her male counterpart's future self before dodging his blast of fire. Danny snuck up behind him and blasted him into the ice.
Dan growled again as he was struck with the blast. "I only came to get revenge, not fight my past self and his female counterpart." He quickly teleported away.
The two floating halfas shrugged and transformed back, dropping to the ground.
Danny helped Fishtail up as Danni stayed a little behind.
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.
"What are you?" Fishtail asked, not bothering to answer the half-ghost's question.
"A half-ghost, Fishtail," Danny responded. "But Dan over there was a full ghost."
Fishtail tapped his now-webbed fingers against his chin. Danny and Danni didn't know it, but when his fingers turned webbed in his human form, it wasn't a good sign for the person he was interacting with.
"I feel like you know some information," Fishtail stated. His expression darkened. "A little too much information."
His eyes glowed a full green, no irises, no pupils, full green. Danny gasped and looked shocked before his expression relaxed as if he was hypnotized. His eyes glowed a full green identical to Fishtail's. A green beam of light shot out of Danny's eyes and entered Fishtail's. It stopped after a few seconds and Danny's eyes returned to normal and he collapsed, unconscious.
A scream lit up the street. Fishtail's gaze turned to Danni. The female Phantom looked absolutely horrified. Her eyes met Fishtail's.
She ran.
The girl forgot she had supernatural powers and shot off, flip-flops pounding against the street. Her raven hair fell into her eyes, but she blew it out of the way. She normally wore her hair in a braid so why did she decide to leave it down for this?
Due to the fact that she could barely see, she made a wrong turn and ended up in a dead-end alley.
She spun around with a shocked expression. Her features relaxed and her eyes turned a full green. A beam of green light shot out of her eyes and seconds later she dropped to the ground unconscious.
A pair of webbed hands dragged her away.
And there Fishtail makes his first appearance! I don't want anyone saying that Fishtail is overpowered. I replaced his Ghostly Wail with the eye-thingy. You'll find out exactly what he did to Danny and Danni next chapter.
