Hello Readers. I have the longest chapter I have ever uploaded and you guys get to read it. You know the drill (I think), Enjoy and please review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom. Can't sue me now lawyers!
The next day, Danny was eating his lunch when Tucker showed up.
"Hey Tuck."
"Hey dude. What's up?" Tucker said while sitting at their lunch table.
"Me and Jazz talked and we agreed to go into the Ghost Zone tonight. Will you be there?"
"Of course man." Tucker hesitated a few seconds before asking, "so about you and Sam. It is obvious you guys like each other. Why don't you just ask her out?"
"Because Tucker, things are…complicated?"
Tucker took a bite out of his burger.
"You like her and she likes you. What's so complicated about that?"
"Because she doesn't like me Tuck!"
Sam came up to the table and sat next to Danny.
"Who doesn't like you?" she asked.
Before Tucker could respond, Danny answered,
"Uh…Paulina!"
"oh." Sam looked at the table not even bothering with her food.
Wait was she hoping I would say her? No, she hasn't showed any signs of liking though.
"I just remembered Mrs. Victoria wanted me to do an extra credit assignment. I got to go." Sam got up before either boy could reply. When she was walking out of the cafeteria with her tray full of food, Sam ran into Paulina spilling its contents all over her.
"Look what you just did you Goth freak! You ruined my new shirt!" Paulina screamed.
"I am sorry. Don't worry I will pay for it."
"Like you could even afford it loser."
"Hey, don't call Sam a loser!" Danny interjected.
Dash and two other Jocks walked up to Paulina.
"Hey Paulina, these dweebs bothering you? If you want I can teach them where they belong," Dash said.
Paulina pondered this for a few moments.
"Go ahead Dash, and if you do that, I will give you a treat after school," Paulina replied seductively.
Okay, eww!
Dash started pounding his fist into his other hand and walking towards Danny.
"You're first Fenturd."
Dash swung his fist towards Danny, hoping to hit him in the face. Danny just sidestepped out of the way and watched Dash put too much force into his punch and fall to the floor. Most of the students that formed around them started cheering.
Wow Dash has poor technique when fighting. This will be a piece of cake.
"Dash, just walk away."
"Why? Just because you got lucky Fenturd. Fat chance."
Dash got up and charged full force into Danny. Danny waited until the last second until he sidestepped once again. Dash ended up running into a nearby table. More cheers erupted
"That's it Fenturd!"
Dash got up again and launched punch after punch at Danny. Danny, slightly startled, caught both of Dash's fists before they could reach their target. He then kicked Dash's feet from under him sending him to the floor. Suddenly a booming voice was heard over the cheers of the students.
"Mr. Fenton, Mr Baxter, What do you two think you are doing! My office now!"
Oh crud!
Danny looked at his surroundings. A table was damaged and there was a little bit of blood on the floor. He looked at Sam and noticed the startled expression on her face.
"Now Mr. Fenton!"
Danny started to walk to the office of Mr. Lancer to await his punishment.
Stupid no tolerance policy
Danny was sitting at home waiting for Tucker to arrive. After his fight with Dash, he was suspended for 3 days for vandalizing school property and antagonizing Dash. The school sent Danny home where he had to wait 4 hours for Tucker to finally show up.
Ding Dong
Danny opened the door and faced a slightly nervous Tucker.
"Where have you been Tucker?"
"Sorry dude, my parents didn't want me to come over to your house after your fight with Dash. By the way what's your punishment?"
Danny started to rub the back of his neck.
"I got 3 days suspension."
Danny and Tucker started walking down to the lab.
"So how is Sam?" Danny asked.
"She is trying to figure out why you were protecting her from your crush."
The duo reached the lab and Danny said,
"Tucker you and Jazz will be monitoring the com. Here take this Fenton Phone. Danny handed Tucker an ear bud. "Remember they block out spectral frequencies so we can talk."
"Ok Danny."
"Hey Danny, I am all set over here," Jazz said.
"Okay. Tuck?"
"Ready."
Danny took in a breath and changed into his Phantom half.
"Let's do this!"
Danny flew through the Ghost Portal to be greeted by 200 skeletons some with bows already trained on Danny.
CRAP!
Danny put up a green ectodome around him and watched the archers' arrows fall harmlessly to the ground.
"Tucker, call my parents, Valerie, heck even Vlad!"
I need to buy him some time
"Danny, they have reinforcements on the way"
Can things get any worse?
"The Fright Knight is with them!"
Danny noticed the cracks on his dome. He shot back through the portal followed by the skeletons. Once Danny reach the street, he noticed Valerie was there waiting for him.
Of course Tucker would call her first.
"What did you do this time Spook?" Valerie shouted while shooting a couple ghosts.
"I tried to enter the Zone," Danny replied.
"You finally leaving Amity Park?" Danny heard some pleasure in Valerie's tone.
"No, I was helping a friend. Now shut up and shoot the enemy!"
Danny and Valerie kept fighting the ghosts for another fifteen minutes. In that time the Fenton's, Plasmius and some GIW agents also arrived. Danny was obtaining a good amount of scars from the skeletons' swords not to mention blasts from the ghost hunters. A voice boomed over the battlefield.
"Humans, The Fright Knight said, surrender the Halfas! We have no quarrel with you…yet.
Everyone kept firing at the ghosts.
"So be it. Skeletons, attack!"
300 more skeletons came from behind the knight and jumped into the battle, turning it in their favor. Noticing Maddie was fairing pretty well, the Fright Knight charged straight at her , knocking her off her feet.
"Any last words maiden?"
Before Maddie could say anything, Phantom plowed right into the knight who dropped his sword as he smashed into the ground.
Did Phantom just save my life? Why? If given the chance I would've let him die.
Phantom picked up the glowing green sword and pointed it at the knight's chest.
"We will find out what your worst nightmare is if you don't leave Amity Park now!" The tip of the Soul Shredder was now touching the Fright Knights armor.
"Fine Whelp, you have won this round, but I will be back for your life."
The Fright Knight called to all of his skeletons and flew back into the Ghost Zone, leaving an uneasy quiet in their place.
After the battle, Danny checked himself over.
Danny had many gashes and bruises throughout his body. He also had a large gash on the back of his head oozing ectoplasm.
He started getting a light headed sensation all throughout his body.
Oh, looks like I am out of adrenaline. I think I am going to take a nap now
The halfa fell to the ground on a battlefield with his enemies still on it.
A woman in a blue jumpsuit ran up to Danny's fallen body and kneeled over it.
"Jack we have to help Phantom!"
"Why Maddie? He is a ghost and all ghosts are evil. He is only a menace to the town."
Maddie turned to face her husband.
"But Jack, he saved my life and…. I am not entirely certain he is evil. Who would save the life of a ghost hunter."
Jack sighed. He knew he wasn't going to win this argument.
"Fine Maddie. What do you want to do with him?"
Maddie then stood up.
"I want to put him in the RV before the GIW notices he is here," Maddie said while pointing to the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle. "Then we can decide later what to do with him."
The Fenton's loaded up Phantom into their RV and drove home before the GIW or Valerie know what was happening. Plasmius though, saw the whole thing. He vanished right after, heading back to City Hall. The GIW searched around the now vacant battlefield, looking for their dead and wounded. Valerie left as soon as all the skeletons started leaving. After all, she had homework to finish. Everyone on the battlefield knew that what they saw that day was only the beginning.
