Now the moment you have been waiting for has arrived…All of Danny's mysteries will be now cleared totally. I really thank Mi Bi Looney for her reviews ^^. Oh, and I didn't know I wrote wrong "hey", thanks for telling me. This chapter will be about Danny's POV. Ok…let's get started with the chapter.
Chapter 13: Joined halves
What had happened? He had talked with me, but he didn't explain me the whole thing. I was growing worried, I needed to tell my parents and friends, but they all were training who knows where. I tried asking every ghost, but they always replied "I don't know". Suddenly I had an idea: go with Jazz. I ran through all the city, and when I found her home I knocked the door. She opened the door.
"Ey Danny" she welcomed me with a smile. I inhaled and exhaled deeply before smiling back.
"Jazz!" I cried. She noticed the worried look on my face, and so she also got worried.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I have the feeling that the ghosts from the Ghost Zone have planned their revenge and are going to attack very soon" I explained and looked at the sky. She touched my shoulder gently.
"What makes you think that? I mean…they invaded the city 3 years ago, and now they attack individually" she asked, curious.
"Somebody told me that" I replied. She looked even more curious at me, but said nothing.
"Mm…ok. Have you told your parents?" she asked. I shook my head.
"No, they are training with Sam and Tucker. I have been asking the others if they causally knew where they were, but they always said no" I explained. Jazz was about to talk when we suddenly felt a weak earthquake. Hoping it wasn't the unstoppable thing coming towards the city, I looked outside. I gasped, knowing it was too late: There was a ghost, who I thought it would be enormous but instead was my dad's size, with a black cape, sharp fangs, wearing a metallic armor, and had a gun on his right hand.
"Jazz! They have come!" I cried loudly. She flew towards the door and looked at the ghost, making her eyes widen.
"I have to tell the citizens to protect the city however they can" she said and was getting ready to fly.
"I will help too" I offered. She shook her head.
"No Danny. It can be very dangerous for you. Stay here and hide until we can defeat him" she explained while looking seriously at me, and then flew off. I felt bad again. This remembered me of the times when I was with Sam and Tucker and suddenly a ghost appeared and tried attacking me. My friends would protect me and tell me to get away and let them get in charge of it. I always thought I was in the way when it was about ghosts. After the ghost invasion that came 3 years ago, they thought of me as their target and came to attack. Sam and Tucker decided to be my bodyguards and attacked them. I took away a new weapon from my parents without them noticing and gave it to my friends. It was a silver-colored thermos with lots of buttons on it and it could trap ghosts inside, that my parents have called "Fenton Thermos".
Also, my parents became the official protectors of the city, building a lab below our home, where they invented new weapons and invents to return the ghosts from where they came. However, they didn't know their own son was the principal reason of why they came to Amity Park, and I never dared to tell them. I don't even know why I kept it a secret. Albert joined my parents into protecting Amity Park. My dad was so happy and proud about it that he told Maddie to make their son a "cool" suit: It was white with black boots, gloves, belt and an oval on his chest. He, to brag more about himself, always brought it to school. Every ghost girl, except for Sam, surrounded him and asked for autographs. His wish became true: to be popular and stronger than his little bro.
Back to the strong ghost… He smiled and started attacking the buildings. Ghosts came from outside their homes and tried their best to defeat him, with little success. I walked outside Jazz's place slowly and decided to search my parents myself. Suddenly I remembered my dad's proud words.
"Mads! Guess what! Albert and I have decided to train out of city the next week, where the man's shop used to be"
"And I' m also going, right?" mom asked.
"Yes dear!" he replied happily.
"Then we will go too. Our parents wanted us to train, anyways" I heard a familiar voice.
"Ok Sam and Tucker" said mom.
Out of city…where the man´s shop used to be…Where was that shop? I asked myself. I would have to walk a lot to get out of the city, but it was worth it.
Hours later, when I finally got out of city, I looked around, in hopes of seeing the shop. Not finding it, I kept on walking. I wanted to stop for a long time and rest, but the city was in danger, there was no time to rest. When I closed my eyes for a moment, I suddenly heard something coming my way. I immediately opened my eyes and looked at a green ectoplasm. I ducked fast to avoid it. I recognized the blast: Albert. I ran from where it came. I was relieved when I saw my family and friends training and battling between themselves.
"Mom! Sam! Tucker!" I exclaimed happily. However, when they turned, they didn't seem to be happy.
"What are you doing out of home?" scolded mom.
"A very ghost is attacking Amity Park!" I cried. Their looks then became worried ones.
"We have to go!" exclaimed mom. Everybody nodded and flew away, except for Sam and Tucker, who were kind and took me towards the city.
"Leave me in Jazz's home. I promised I would be there" I said. They nodded and put me down, inside her home. I thanked them before they joined my family. The ghost looked at him bored and fired an ectoplasm. Albert fired also and the 2 blasts exploded. I saw other ghosts trying to fight him, but were knocked out by his blasts. What will happen? I asked myself. I wished I could talk with the voice I usually heard in my head. But I guessed he was knocked out or something similar because he didn't speak. I looked outside a window and saw the battle: my parents and friends were winning. Sam was throwing strange roses, Tucker was hitting the ghost with a sword, Albert kept firing ectoplasms, and mom and dad punched as hard as they could. I smiled. The invincible ghost is no match for the Fentons, nor to my friends I thought happily. I regretted saying that later because the ghost was so annoyed he fired a strange laser with his gun, hitting all them. Even Albert couldn't evade it. The ghost laughed and punched Albert, Sam and Tucker. I was getting worried, watching as how they suffered. The ghost, getting bored, took out a sphere from his belt, then threw it towards them. It was a bomb! I got out of the house, hoping to save them. However, it was too late as it exploded. I was sent flying and crashed against a solid wall, but wasn't worried of myself. What happened to my family?…Sam…Tucker…There was a smokescreen, so I couldn't tell. When it finally disappeared, I saw what I feared: all of them were hurt and bleeding a lot. I started crying loudly, attracting the ghost attention.
"Don't worry about them, because you will soon be with them" he said with a dark smile and laughed weakly. I, decided to defeat this ghost, wiped away my tears and ran towards my home, to the lab. Ok Fenton, you are an eight-years-old kid. You have to be brave and show everybody you can battle I thought with a smile on my face. I grabbed an enormous gun and the Fenton Thermos and ran out of home.
"Try to get me if you can!" I yelled and fired a laser. The ghost got hit but it didn't hurt him. Instead, he got even more angry and landed, walking towards me. I tried to back up, but I stopped when I felt my back touched a wall. I looked warily at the ghost. His look…why it looks so familiar? It's not because it a fusion of several ghosts I have met… I thought. That look told me 'You are dead man' but I knew that in the deepest part of him it said 'Help me!' The ghost grabbed my neck and kept laughing.
"You have no place to run nor place to hide. I will soon destroy this pathetic city, along with all of it's citizens. But first I will get rid of you" he said and started punching me. His punches were very powerful I felt like fainting, but I thought I was the only one in there, so I did my best to stay awake. I locked on the ghost and then fired with the gun. He, however, dodged it and fired an ectoplasm. I used the gun as shield, making it explode. I coughed hard and looked at the ghost.
"Together we are unstoppable. You can't beat me!" he exclaimed and kept firing blasts. I couldn't dodge them because he was grabbing my neck so tight, and I also could barely breath. I was weak from the blasts to even move a finger, and I felt how the blood fell from my body. He charged up an enormous ectoplasm and was about to fire it.
"Stop!" I heard the voice return. The ghost stopped grabbing me and held its head. I took advantage of that and kicked his feet, making him fall. I put a foot on his back and smiled.
"Are you going to give up and leave my city alone?" I asked. However, I didn't expect the ghost to grab my foot and throw me away, crashing against a door.
"S-SHUT…UP!" he exclaimed and flew towards me. He charged up another big ectoplasm. This is it. I can't really do much as I'm weak. I'm sorry mom, dad, bro., Sam, Tucker, Jazz..everybody I thought sadly and closed my eyes, getting ready to receive the blast, as I was tired and hurt to even get up and run away.
"No! Arg…I have to control…this" the voice returned. When I looked up, I saw the ghost holding his head once more. The ghost started glowing, so I covered my eyes. When he stopped, I saw his appearance had changed: his fangs disappeared and his hair was longer. But the thing that really surprised me was that, in front of me, there was another ghost, the same I saw in my dreams.
"Y-you…" I started. He looked at me and smiled.
"I will explain things until he is down" he said and flew towards me, taking control of my body. I suddenly felt even more powerful. I got up and my hands were surrounded by a blue energy, just like Albert, and fired an ectoplasm. The other ghost wasn't able to evade it and got hit, getting frozen. Then the energy around my hands turned red and fired a red blast, breaking the ice and burning him. The ghost glowed once more, later revealing lots of ghosts yelling because of their burns. The ghost that was controlling me grabbed the thermos and sucked all the ghosts in. An hour later, the ghost got out of my body, making me feel weaker. Then he looked at me.
"I have been searching you…my lost half" he said.
"What?" I asked surprised.
"Yes Danny. Let me explain: You were going to born as a ghost, but a ghost attack divided you in 2, sending the other half to the Ghost Zone" he explained.
"So…you…"
"Yes…I'm your ghost half, and you are my human half. That's why you have part of my hair and I have part of yours" he explained. Now I somehow understood it.
"And do you know why I see ghosts the others couldn't?" I asked.
"Yes…because you could see through your green eye what I saw with my blue one. I don't know how you made it to beat ghosts that where in the Ghost Zone, however" he told me. "Also, if we weren't together, we wouldn't survive. I don't have all my ghost powers without you, and that's why I had to do something I regret" he said and then showed me his shoulder: he had a bite…the bite I felt that day. "I had to absorb powers of their attacks, and I don't know how would you react if we were joined together, but I would have disappeared if I didn't, disappearing you too in consequence" I widened my eyes when he said that: while I was suffering from the arrogance of Alert, he was trying to survive so that we met and joined back.
"I wanted to tell you, before the ghost attack, that they were going to use me as the principal key of the ghost, but Skulker wouldn't let me. I couldn't control it, and I suffered a lot watching you and your citizens get hurt by me. You somehow helped me to separate from them and be with you"
"It's ok…Danny. You helped us defeat it and protect my…no…our city" I said, and felt strange saying that, but I just smiled.
"You also helped. As I told you, I'm very weak without you" he said, making me blush a little.
"I tried getting out of the Ghost Zone by flying through natural portals, but it seemed as if the place wanted me to be there because the portals always hurt me. I somehow thank the ghost' ideas, because if it hadn't been of them, I wouldn't be here with you. It's time we finally join together and be one, after 8 long years" he said. I nodded and saw my other half fly towards me. When we fused together, I felt even more powerful than when he overshadowed me. I decided to keep my true identity as a secret. I remembered what had happened before meeting my ghost half, and turned to see my family and friends still fainted. I ran towards them and saw Jazz walking towards me while holding her arm.
"I told you…not to get out…just look at yourself: You are covered in blood" she scolded. I looked at my clothes and saw she was right.
"Yes I know, but I'm not that bad. We have to take everybody to a hospital" I said seriously. She nodded and took Sam, Tucker and Albert towards the hospital. I was very surprised to see that when I carried my parents I didn't feel them heavy. Happy about that, I ran behind Jazz. The ghost was stupid enough not to even touch the hospital, but I was glad at the same time. When Jazz turned and looked at me, I immediately pretended that my parents felt heavy and started panting.
"Oh Danny. You would have let me take them here" she said. I smiled.
"No…it was ok" I replied while pretending to be tired. Doctors came towards us, and took my parents away, towards a room with number 314. Another doctor came and guided Jazz to another room. Just when I turned I felt somebody touch my shoulder: another doctor.
"You also need to be checked, please come with me" he said gently and showed me the way to room 157. He motioned me to lay down in a bed, and so I did.
"Ok" he said while taking out a small paper and a pen. "What's your name?" he asked. Just when I was going to speak I felt a pain on my hands, being surrounded by a green energy. Strange, when Albert or…"Danny" overshadowed me, it didn't hurt I thought, confused as an ectoplasm was fired from my hands. The doctor widened his eyes.
"What? Another ghost with that attack?" he asked himself, surprised. Darn! So fast he knew about my ghost part I thought when I suddenly felt somebody get out of my body. It was my ghost half, but not like I have seen him before: he had disguised himself and was pretending to be my brother.
"Cool!" I whispered.
"No, I was overshadowing him" he said.
"Oh I remember you. You are the ghost kid I met 8 years ago!" the doctor exclaimed. My ghost half nodded and flew through the ceiling.
"I thought there existed 2 ghosts with that power here in Amity Park" he said sadly.
"Umm…sorry, but I'm not a ghost, I'm human" I explained. He widened his eyes.
"And I am brother of Albert" I said indifferently. He was even more surprised, but then smiled.
"Oh…that's great" he said.
"Yeah…oh, and he lost his gloves. Could you possibly give me a pair so that I can give it to him?" I suddenly asked. He nodded and took out white gloves from a drawer and gave them to me.
"Awesome. I like white better than black" I whispered and smiled, keeping the gloves in my pocket.
"Oh yes, my name is Danny Fenton" I said. He wrote down the name and looked back at me.
"Good. Now let me check your wounds" he said and flew towards me. I was glad that my ghost half had gotten out of me and helped me, or else the secret would have been discovered. He looked at me, then took out instruments from a closet and started checking me. After a while, he was finished.
"You are fine: you just will need a shower and to rest a little. Thank goodness the ghost didn't hurt you that bad" he said with a smile and let me get out of the room. Once I was completely alone, I saw my ghost part in front of me.
"Thanks for helping me" I thanked and gave him the gloves.
"It was nothing" he replied with a smile, taking the gloves and putting them on
"I don't know why that doctor said I wasn't that bad. The ghost really hurt me and pretty bad" I complained.
"Ghosts heal fast, but I guess hybrids heal even faster" he said.
"Yes I suppose so. And how will I be able to control my powers? I don't want to be discovered because of that" I asked.
"I don't even know: I guess we will find out as time passes" he replied. I sighed and looked at the ceiling.
"What if we become heroes, just like my parents? It would be awesome, saving people and all that" I asked, excited.
"I wouldn't have any problem with it" he replied with a smile.
"But we would have to change your name…mm….what about…Phantom?" I suggested.
"And because I'm your half, I have to also be Danny, right? So it will be Danny Phantom" he said proudly.
"Yeah, yeah, it will be as you said" I replied a little angry. He smiled.
"Oh don't get angry. It's-" he was cut off by footsteps. He immediately fused together with me and I looked up: It was a doctor coming from my parents room. I got up and ran towards him.
"Are the Fentons ok?" I asked impatiently. The doctor just smiled warmly.
"Yes, the ghost only used an attack to make them sleep, even the bomb he threw pretended to do great damage. They just need 2 days of resting, then they will be fine"
"And Sam Manson, Tucker Foley or Jazz Fenton?" I asked.
"They got even less damage, so tomorrow they will be healed completely" he explained and flew away. I walked towards room 314 and sat down in a chair, falling asleep.
