Last part of SbmE. I tried to make it as long as I could. Hope that you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, sadly. Anything that appears in this story from the original DP isn't mine. If it's not from the origianl, I made it up and therefor it is mine.
Shadow followed Skulker in, being careful not to be noticed. He'd never actually been in the Ghost Zone before. It was all green and had purple doors floating everywhere. Another thing; there wasn't any ground! This place was beyond creepy. Still, he didn't give up and floated silently behind them, still unnoticed. He didn't want to use his invisibility because he couldn't stay invisible for that long.
Finally, the ghost seemed to be slowing down as he approached a jungle-like floating island. Shadow decided that now was a good time to go invisible. All three figures landed on the ground. Skulker held the still unconscious Abby and placed her in a cage. Shadow stared in horror. Two more figures joined the party; Thrasher and Ember.
"What are you doing now?" Ember asked tiredly.
"Isn't it obvious? He's using her as bait," Thrasher replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yes, daughter, I am," Skulker responded, glad that his daughter was becoming so good at this trait.
"Is this another 'Catch Danny Phantom' idea?" Ember asked with boredom ringing in her voice.
"Yes," Skulker growled irritably.
Ember sighed and flew off, leaving Skulker, Thrasher, the unconscious Abby, and the invisible Shadow behind.
Abby began to wake up. She lifted her head drearily and slowly opened her eyes.
"Ahhh, good, you're awake," Skulker said menacingly.
Abby's eyes darted around nervously. "Where am I?!" she shouted angrily.
"On my father's island of course," Thrasher answered, pleased with the girl's fear that she was trying so hard to hide.
"I swear, when I get out of here I'll-" she never got to finisher her threat. Thrasher shot her with a ray gun and knocked her out.
"That'll keep her quiet," Thrasher said with cruel pleasure.
The last thing Abby saw was Shadow appearing behind the ghosts.
Shadow had decided that now was a good time to attack. He turned visible as he landed a kick to Skulker's back, causing him to fall forward. Thrasher noticed instantly.
"You?!" Thrasher questioned, enraged.
"Yeah, me," Shadow answered proudly.
He shot a red ghost ray at her. It hit her while she was unprepared. She winced.
Skulker came up from behind him though and grabbed his neck. Shadow flung a kick backward, hitting the robot in the stomach and breaking free. He turned around quickly to see Thrasher charging at him. He made a ghost zapper (the lightning X) and sent it out toward Thrasher. It grabbed onto her and she painfully stumbled to the ground, curling up from the continuous pain of the lasting shock.
Shadow then leaped up and flipped into a position behind the approaching Skulker, blasting him with a ghost zapper as well. It hit the mechanical ghost in the back and sent a constant shockwave through him. Both ghosts were now on the ground. Jake made his way to Abby's cage, but was painfully hit in the back with a blast from one of the ghosts. He turned to see Thrasher, blowing smoke off of her blaster. Shadow turned and got ready to attack again.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Back at the Fenton residence, Danny walked into the kitchen. He walked past the table with the note.
"What the-?" he asked himself as he noticed the note and picked it up. The handwriting was messy and it looked like whoever wrote it was in a hurry.
Dear Danny Phantom,
Abby has been kidnapped by Skulker and he took her into the Ghost Zone. I'm following them and I'll try to defeat him, but help would be great. I don't know where he's going, but if you get this message, please try to find us and help.
-A friend
"Oh, no. Skulker's got her? Don't worry, I'm coming," he thought to himself out loud.
Danny transformed into his ghostly alter ego and flew into the Ghost Zone after them.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Meanwhile, at Skulker's island, Shadow was still fighting the two cyborgs and starting to get pretty tired. His suit was ripped in several places, he had several cuts and burns, and sweat was pouring from his face-at least the uncovered part.
"Give it up, Shadow. It's two against one and the odds aren't in your favor," Thrasher mocked.
"Odds don't matter. I will beat you," the young ghost stated, gaining an almost menacing tone.
Thrasher fired another blast and Shadow was too tired to dodge, so he was hit and sent flying back, landing right next to Abby's cage. She was still unconscious.
The two robotic creatures stood over the exhausted Shadow with evil grins gracing their lips. They stared down at him and he weakly stared back.
"Now, time to silence you once and for all," Skulker declared darkly, pointing a large cannon at Shadow's face.
Just then, a bright green light appeared behind them and they were knocked away. Behind them floated Danny Phantom.
"What did I tell you about dealing with the stronger ghosts?" Danny asked irritably. "Thanks," he added, smiling softly.
They both turned to the two rising figures.
"I'll handle these two, you get Abby," Danny commanded.
Shadow did as he was told and ran over to her cage. He tried pulling the door open, but he needed a key. That's when he noticed a green key hanging from Skulker's belt. He made a quick approach and grabbed the key when he was knocked down. Skulker lunged at him, but Danny froze him in his place. He stood there as a giant ice statue in attacking position.
Shadow ran back to the cage and fumbled with the key as he tried to get it in the lock. At last, it turned and he swung the cage door open, grabbing the comatose Abby and pulling her out.
He watched as his Dad finished fighting the robot creatures. Now both were encased in a thick block of ice.
"Wow," Shadow uttered in amazement.
He then let his Dad take Abby out of his arms.
"Thank you for helping her," Danny said kindly. This was obviously not a bad ghost, in fact, Shadow reminded him of himself when he was younger.
Danny then flew off carrying his daughter, Shadow following behind him.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Abby woke up a while later, lying in her bed, her parents and brother standing over her.
"She's awake!" Sam exclaimed, hugging the life out of her daughter.
"Okay, Mom, can't breathe," Abby gasped.
Sam let go.
"Hey, sis. You alright?" Jake asked (of course he was now human and his Dad didn't see anything).
"Yeah, what happened?" she questioned.
"You were captured by Skulker and brought to his island in the Ghost Zone. I found a note on the table when I came home that said you were captured. When I found you, Shadow was fighting off Skulker and Thrasher," Danny explained.
"Shadow. I should've known that he was in this. I saw him appear right behind Skulker and Thrasher before I was knocked out," Abby reported venomously.
"Abby, Shadow tried to save you and almost got killed trying," the father clarified.
"Him? I doubt it. He was probably planning this with those other two ghosts so that he could gain our trust and then destroy us," the female half-ghost snapped.
Danny sighed, knowing that he wasn't going to get anywhere with her. "Get some rest," he concluded as he walked out the door. The rest of the family followed.
Outside of the door, Jake murmured to himself, "Maybe someday she'll learn I'm good."
Hope that you enjoyed reading this. Please review. If you ever come up with an idea of your own, feel free to submit it 'cause I only have about 10. It might be a while before my next chapter is up, two weeks at the most (I hope).
