Danny Phantom 2: Hunted
Danny, after his victory against Freakshow, has taken up resident Super Hero of his hometown. The movie opens with him rounding up some street thugs in a short action scene.
He returns home, to meet up with his friends and they decide to head to the arcade, harmless enough.
The scene changes over to Valerie eavesdropping on a conversation between her father, Damon Grey, and his employer, the President of Axion Labs. The PoAL says that it was Damon's job to make sure the lab was secure. He failed at this and Axion takes their business elsewhere, leaving Damon unemployed and Valerie royally pissed off at the spectres that caused all this.
Another scene switch. We find Danny, Tucker and Sam enjoying themselves at the arcade. There they witness Dash picking on a kid named Johnny Therten. Danny decides to stand-up for Johnny, but it only makes situations worse having the old geek protecting the new one.
Enraged and thinking his life a road of horrible luck, Johnny manages to escape from the arcade, not noticing two red eyes that follow him through the dark shadows.
Danny returns home where his parents remind him that his summer is almost over, and the following school year had better be more productive then the last. Something seems to be concerning Danny's father Jack, he is troubled.
The screen fades into a flashback, one we've seen previously. A younger version of Jack Fenton stands in a rune circle crying and saying "I'm sorry, Vladdy. I'm sorry."
The screen swaps yet again, this time it shows Johnny Therten, riding home on his bike after getting out of the arcade. He is muttering tom himself about how unlucky he is, and crosses under many shadows, each one has a pair of red eyes that Johnny doesn't seem to notice. Finally, after nearly getting hit by a truck, Johnny is knocked off his bike, which is totalled by the large truck that hits it. He curses himself, and his luck, but he hears an odd scrunching of metal and turns to see an amazing Motorcycle where his pile of scrap-bike had once been. He walks over to the motorcycle, a black cruiser with blue flames painted on the body. But as Johnny approaches the cycle, the shadows underneath the bike lunge at him and engulfe his body. His screams echoe through the nite.
An alarm clock buzzes lightly. Danny slowly awakes from his slumber as the bright lights flow into his room. He awakes, happy for the new day. His outlook on life has been much brighter then it once was. He hurries downstairs, eats his breakfast then heads out the door.
Danny is on his way to Sam's house, when he runs into Valerie and has a slight conversation with her. She explains what happened and Danny reassures her that everything is going to be fine and her dad will get a new job. He asks Valerie if she'd like to spend the day with him, and the two had off to an amusement park.
Meanwhile, Sam and Tucker are waiting for Danny to show-up, so the three of them can head to the amusement park themselves, as they had planned prior. After waiting, they decide to go themselves and see if Danny is there.
Danny and Valerie are riding on a ferris wheel. They get to the top of the ride and it stops to allow the people at the bottom off. They talk for a brief moment, then Valerie says she's glad that Danny wanted to spend time with her, and they share a kiss. Sam and Tucker arrive at this moment, with Tucker pointing out where Danny is, and Sam going "What the Hell is he doing?"
Just as Sam gets all pissed off and is about to yell at Valerie and Danny, a motorcycle pulls up infront of the amusement park. Johnny steps off, his brown hair hangs to his shoulders. His dressed differently then before, his expression is more determined and his clothes are heavier: specifically heavy black boots and a black trench coat. As he approaches the amusement park, his own shadow begins to bubble with anticipation.
He enters the amusement park and instantly his shadow reaches out to a near-by trash can and flicks it into a crowd of people, injuring several of them. He glares around, and spots his target: Dash, his friend Kwann and Dash's girlfriend Paulina as well as her friend, Star. Johnny approaches them silently and Dash begins to bully him, punching his shoulder and saying "Well, decided to show up Jimmy?" he laughs.
Johnny doesn't say anything, instead he grabs Dash by the collar of his shirt and lifts him several feet in the air before tossing him onto the Merry-Go-Round. Kwan walks up behind Johnny and spins him around saying "Hey, what do you think you're doing you freak?" But Johnny's shadow lashes out at Kwan, who finds himself stuffed into a trashcan.
Danny spots Johnny wreaking havoc just as the Ferriss Wheel is lowered to the ground. He apologizes to Valerie and says he has to run. He enters a porta-potty, go's Ghost then leaves to deal with Johnny (Who at this point is terrorizing Paulina, Star and a group of others.)
A battle begins between Johnny and Danny, where at one point Johnny is consumed by the Shadow entirely and forms a shadow monster that rips a ride off the ground and tosses it at the Phantom. Eventually Johnny smash a rip in the track of a roller coaster and flees while Danny is distracted in saving the people on the coaster.
As Danny returns to human, Sam and Tucker approach him. Sam says "Where were you! You were supposed to meet us at my house two hours ago!" Danny replies "Well.. I had some stuff I had to do, like..." but Sam interrupts saying "Like what? Make out with your new girlfriend?" she then storms off leaving Danny dumbfounded.
Meanwhile Valerie was watching the entire battle, having a loathing for both ghosts involved (she is unaware that Danny is the phantom.) A figure appears behind her, Vlad Masters in his human form. He explains gently that there is something she can do to stop the ghosts, to destroy them. When she asks how, Vlad shows her a pistol-like weapon.
Danny returns home, angry and confused. Yelling at his parents to leave him alone when they ask if he's hungry. He doesn't understand why Sam was so angry with him, and he's upset that he didn't defeat Johnny. He storms up to his room.
Johnny blazes down the street on his motorcycle, and stops infront of a house. He knocks on the door and asks for a girl named Kitten. When Kitten arrives, the two hug each other and go out. Johnny takes Kitten to a movie and then to a wooden shack in the forest he calls his club house. There he shows Kitten his powers, his control over the shadow. At first Kitten is scared, but she finds herself liking it and the two embrace each other, with one of those "They had sex, but this is PG-13" screen switches.
Danny awakes and slams his clock against the floor, destroying it. He hears police sirens, and goes ghost, following the cars in hope that they're headed to Johnny. Instead of where he wants to go, Danny finds himself tackled into a back alley by a figure on a glider in a suit of armor.
"Go back to hell, you monster." Says the armored figure, which pulls out the gun that Vlad had in the last seen and starts blasting ecto-shots at Danny. A short battle begins, but the armored figure is eventually smashed against a brick wall, the helmet sinking in. The figure is unable to breathe and begins to suffocate, but Danny pulls off their helmet and is shocked to find Valerie underneath, he flees.
Johnny and Kitten are going state-wide, robbing convenience stores and using Johnny's new powers to keep their identites hidden. This specific scene shows them robbing a cashier, and taking free slushies as they leave.
The next scene shows Valerie talking to Vlad, asking for a new helmet. Vlad responds "You failed once.. why should I let you try again?" Valerie says "I'm ready now, I'll do whatever it takes."
Tucker visits Danny as it becomes night. Danny asks Tucker why Sam was so upset earlier and Tucker says "Y'know man, I think she really likes you..." Jazz knocks on Danny's door, telling him dinner is ready, but he hears on the radio that a shadow monster is attacking a local store. Jazz becomes impatient and opens the door just in time to see Danny go ghost and fly through the wall, leaving Tucker to sit there for a moment and say "You didn't see that! You saw a bird!"
Danny manages to find Johnny and Kitten as they are making a get-away down a road. He intercepts them and engages Johnny in battle. They just so happen to be fighting outside Sam's house, who watches from her window. After a few moments of wrestling around, a harpoon is fired but Johnny's shadow protects him from the weapon. Valerie in her suit fly down and start firing ecto-blasts at Danny and Johnny, screaming about getting her revenge on ghosts for what they did to her father. A misfired harpoon is launched into Kitten, and she slowly dies with Johnny panicing at her side, with Danny engaging Valerie, intentionally allowing Johnny to have a moment with his dieing girlfriend. Danny is knocked into the ground and trapped by a net that valerie launches from a small cannon in her wrist.
Johnny is overcome with grief and the shadow slowly fuses onto him like before. The whole time he says "You killed her... I'll kill you!" Johnny and Valerie begin a battle, which quickly leads them away from Danny, who is struggling to break free from his net. Sam runs out of the house, and at first seems angered, but softens up and releases Danny from the net. Just as he is about to leave, she grabs his arm (he isn't intangible right now.) and quietly says "Don't die." then giving Danny a kiss.
Danny finds Valerie and Shadow battling each other in a near-by park. He enters the fray and ends up battling both of them. In the end, Valerie tosses a bomb at Johnny which explodes in a ball of light, causing his shadow to disappear in puffs of black smoke. He stands in shock, trying to use his shadow, but it's gone.
Valerie and Danny begin fighting, Valerie swearing to kill him. He knucks her harpoon gun to the ground near where Johnny is still in shock. They battle for a few minutes longer, but suddenly a harpoon is shot through Valerie, who finds herself harpooned onto the flagpole for the park. Danny looks to see who did it, and sees Johnny dropping the gun, and running off. Feeling he is no longer a threat, Danny leaves.
The movie ends with Danny, Tucker and Sam at Valeries funeral, with Vlad standing in the back and Johnny in the shadows.
