Danny joined the guardians.
"Pitch will be back, but he won't hit this city tonight," Danny announced.
"How did you do that?" Tooth asked in awe. Danny smirked.
"That was nothing. Should have seen me in my glory days. My powers have changed a little since I became a magical being. Still figuring out how much they've changed to be honest. Like I can't duplicate anymore. Not sure why but it was never a power I used much, not very easy to pull off and control," Danny informed them. The guardians stared at him, even Bunny was so stunned that he didn't feel afraid or make snide comments.
Danny turned to Jamie who hadn't moved from where he was standing during the fight. Danny could still feel his terror and he was clearly froze with fear.
"I warned you to stay out of my way. This way I can stop two problems, the child that won't stop believing and the Spirit of Fear that stands in my way," Pitch called as he strolled out of a large shadow behind Jamie and created a large ball of black sand in his hands. Danny pushed through the guardians and charged towards the boogieman, the guardians following close behind before they were stopped by a few nightmare sand horses again. Danny ran forwards and shouted angrily at Pitch as he threw the ball of black sand at Jamie. Jamie was transfixed by Pitch's return and the guardians fighting and didn't manage to dodge the ball.
The ball of sand hit him in the chest and wrapped around him and disappeared into his body. He screamed, a scream filled with pure terror. Danny ran to him and grabbed both of the boy's shoulders and looked right into his terrified, wide eyes.
"Jamie! Jamie! You have to listen to me. It's alright! I'm right here," Danny shouted frantically. But Jamie was too afraid to even hear his voice subconsciously. Danny took a deep breath.
"Jamie, please listen to me. It's going to be fine. I'm going to help you. You just have to listen and trust me," Danny attempted again, trying to sound calm and reassuring.
"Danny! Look out!" Jack shouted as he blasted a nightmare horse with his ice powers. Danny glanced at him and saw Pitch pointing an arrow of nightmare sand at him, grinning happily. Danny scowled with determination. He didn't have time to dodge.
"Jamie, I'll be back alright? I promise. You just have to hold on for me. It's alright to be afraid. But don't let it control you. I will be back and I'll help you," Danny promised and took a step back from the boy as Pitch loosed his sand arrow. Danny didn't want to be touching Jamie in case the arrow hitting him affected Jamie.
He gasped in pain as the arrow hit his back.
"No! Danny!" Jack screamed. Pitch laughed and melted back into the shadows, this time for good, taking his horses with him. The guardians rushed to Danny's side. He was unconscious and covered in a thin veil of black energy. It rippled around him. Jack turned to Jamie, he'd fallen to the ground unconscious as well. Jack rushed to the boy's side and checked for signs of life. Jamie was still breathing but he still looked frightened and he seemed to be trapped in a terrible nightmare judging by his soft whimpers of fear and his terrified expression. Jack turned to Sandy.
"Can you help them?" Jack asked. Sandy shrugged. He touched Jamie's head before flinching and shaking his head. A dream sand wall appeared over his head. His powers were blocked. He turned to Danny and touched him and frowned. He poured a little dream sand into the black energy and images appeared in the energy, showing what Danny was seeing.
They stared in horror at the destruction Danny was witnessing and the man he was talking to. The man looked muscular and tall. He had bluish skin, fangs and burning white hair. His eyes glowed a blood red and he wore a jumpsuit similar to Danny Phantom's with the addition of a cape. Sandy poured more dream sand into the veil and they heard Danny's voice.
"Nice try Pitch. But he doesn't scare me anymore. He's not going to happen and you know why?!" Danny shouted and the image shifted into another, into a memory that Danny had never spoken about but relived all too often.
So I know that was a bit on the short side, but this is Danny's back story. I promised you'd learn it in time. But let me know what you guys think of that sneak attack of Pitch's.
Until the next chapter.
