Review... Anybody?
~Episode 12~ The legend about Phantom
(The next day)
"Dino! Wake up!" Sam called her son. He needs to get ready if he doesn't want to late for school. Sam waited for Dino's response for a minute. "Wake up you lazy butt!" She shouted again, bubyill no response from Dino. She decided to go to his room and see what's going on, but Dino has been just a hard sleeper, he was sleeping and apparently even his alarm clock didn't wake him up, but it's not the first time.
"Dino... Wake up..." Sam called him with the gentle mother's voice and shook him a bit, when she saw that Dino is not responding, she shook him a bit harder.
"Ugh... What is going on?" Dino asked, still half asleep. Sam smiled at his son, he was just so adorable... "I'm sorry that I woke you up, but you'll late for school if you don't move," she said and Dino's eyes widen, "WAIT! WHAT!" he shouted and with speed of the lighting got up from the bed, it is a miracle that he didn't trip over and fall.
Sam went out of Dino's room to give him so privacy. Meanwhile Dino was at his clothes, thinking what to wear. He put on an ordinary white T-shirts and on that a black leather jacket that Sam bought him a long time ago, but from some reason he didn't want to wear it. He also put a black baggy jeans. At the end, he took out and put on some red converse shoes. Sam told him that the shoes were from his dad when he was his age, but Dino didn't believe her...
He usually wears a black, long-sleeved shirt, a blue pants and an one ordinary pair of two black shoes. He didn't know, why did he make a sudden change in clothes, but when he looked himself in the mirror, he knew that he really likes the combination...
Dino ran downstairs, despite his mom's warnings. "Dino! Are you running again downstairs!" She shouted and Dino froze in the place. He was like an ice sculpture. "Um... No?" He answered unsure.
"Ugh... Never mind," Sam answered, she thinks that she will quit with warnings, if Dino wants to hurt himself, so be it. "Come, you'll late for school," Sam called and Dino somehow managed to unfreeze himself. "Coming!" He shouted and ran towards the table on which was 'garbage'. He thought that he will vomit when he saw a grass on one piece of pumpernickel bread.
"I'll think that I'll skip breakfast. Gotta go, bye!" Dino said, picked up his things and hurried out of the house. He know that his mom is an ultra recyclo vegetarian, but the breakfast was just too much!
-Line break-
It was Dino's last period and every student got bored by now expect him. He had a history class and what everyone thinks that is boring, he thinks that is interesting, except the World War I and a World War II, he feels sorry for all that innocent victims that died during that two wars, but Ms. Gray (A/n yes, Valerie Gray) really knows how to describe it good.
History in her class was never boring for Dino and he was one of her best students. Dino was writing some notes and then suddenly he dropped his pencil. "Hm... That's weird..." He thought and picked his pencil again, but what surprised him is that pencil passed straight through his hand.
"Um... Is something wrong, Mr. Manson?" asked. She knew who was Dino and that he is the son of Danny Fenton/Phantom and Sam Manson, she is keeping an eye on him since she got a message from Danny that was saying to watch on his son, Dino.
Ms. Gray didn't say to Sam that she is in town, and she is planning to keep it that way. She knows how Sam knows to get too reacting and overprotective. Sam always had something against her.
"No, Ms. Gray, everything is fine," Dino said with the quiet and shy voice, not soon after, the bell for the end of the class rang and every kid ran out of the classroom except Dino. He just walked out like a normal person and not like some wild animal.
Curiosity in Dino was getting stronger and stronger and instead that he went to the bus stop, he went to the place where did he went only five times in his life, the library.
-Line break-
Dino walked into the library and thought that he will pass out when he saw how many books are in here. He just wanted to run out, screaming, but decided not to in order if he wants to figure out what that DP symbol means that he saw on the envelope. But one thing was for sure, that DP symbol is not from human word from the words on letters were written by some green liquid and it was glowing too.
Dino walked towards the section about ghosts, but he just couldn't believe how many books were there, it will probably take him months, if not years to find the right book. He sighed and took out the first book. "How to make the working ghost detector by Maddie and Jack Fenton" Dino read the name of the first book he picked up and not soon after put it back in its place. He does not need a book about how to make a ghost detector, although, it could ne usefully.
He skipped a few books and took out another one, "How to catch a ghost by Guys in White?" Dino read the name of the book and immediately put it back on its place. His mother used to tell him stories about what did GiW done with ghosts. Dino hated them a lot, no one deserves such torture, even ghosts.
"Ugh..." Dino thought, "This will be much harder than I thought,"
When everything seemed worse for the young boy, some man walked towards him. "Hello, young boy, can I help you somehow?" The man asked with the gentle voice. The man had short black hair, sky blue eyes, a pink plaid shirt, a black pants and a black shoes. Dino didn't know why, but the man seemed somehow familiar to him.
From Dino's mouth escaped some blue mist as did at the same time, from the man's mouth, escaped the red mist. The man noticed that from Dino's mouth escaped the blue mist and he gave him a suspicious look.
"Brrr... Is it just me or is it cold in here?" Dino asked to cover his blue mist coming from his mouth.
"No, it is cold in here," James answered and the lady next to them that overheard the conversation just looked at them, it was hot as hell out there and they are feeling cold. At the end, she went on...
"Um... Sir... You are the one that is working here, right?" Dino asked.
"Yes, I am the one working here. James Master, at your service, but you can just call me James, my pr-" James stopped talking when he noticed that he started to act towards Dino like he is a prince, "I mean friend," he correct himself.
"Thanks James, do you maybe have a piece of paper and a pen?" Dino asked.
"On your luck, I have. Why?" James asked and reached towards the pocket in his hands and took out a small and yellow list of paper, and an ordinary small blue pen.
"Thank you James," Dino said and started slowly to draw on the yellow paper a letter 'D' in which was a letter 'P', "Do you maybe know a book where I can find some informations about this symbol?" Dino asked and handed over the pen and the paper to James.
"Hm... You came to the right place..." James answered and at that moment he also knew that Dino saw the letter from Danny, and now Dino is probably looking for some answers. He knew that the day will the boy will start searching for some answers, but no one didn't want to listen.
"Hm... There are many books in which is this symbol, but you are not an ordinary customer, are you?" James asked, if the ghosts and Danny wants that the boy will be their new king if Danny don't show up, then the boy needs to be ready to know about his family history, but unfortunately that decision is not up to James, but he can always help him to figure it out. Sam and ghosts can't just tell him 'Hi, you are the new king of the Ghost Zone because your father, that is a ghost, didn't show up' that would be crazy and the boy wouldn't believe them and probably will refuse to listen and the Ghost Zone will be without their new king. James known that Sam and Danny don't want to tell the boy the truth because they want to protect him, but boy needs to know, about everything what happened...
"No, I am not an ordinary customer. I am searching for some answers like who am I, what's going on and who is my real father. I just hope that the symbol can help me..." Dino said and James smiled, the boy really is Danny's son.
"I thought so," James said, "Please, follow me,"
"Ok..." Dino said and started to follow James in silent. They walked towards the James cabinet.
"Um... What now?" Dino asked confused, all what he see is a desk, a bunch of books all around and one old bookshelf.
"If you want answers, then you'll move that bookshelf," James said, he just wanted to see how strong Dino really is...
"Ok..." Dino said, but before he moved the bookshelf, he asked, "You are not an ordinary person, are you?"
At that, James just smiled, "No, I am not, and neither are you. You'll find when the time comes," he said and Dino habe him 'aha' look before he moved the bookshelf away from the wall and saw a green with a bit of black swirling vortex... "What is that?" Dino asked and stepped away, he was scared, but really scared, he never saw anything like that in his whole life!
James looked at the boy confused, he never heard for the portal that leads to the Ghost Zone?! What are they teaching those kids this days! "It's a portal that leads to the place where ghosts live," he explained.
"Aha... You mean the Ghost Zone?"
"Yes," James said and sighed, 'At least he knows what's the Ghost Zone' he thought.
"So... What now?"
"What do you think?"
"Wait! We are going into the Ghost Zone!" Dino shouted, not knowing should he be happy, excited or scared.
"Yep..." James answered and gave his arm to Dino, "So... You ready?" He asked and Dino let out a big smile, "I was born ready," he answered and take James's hand.
They together walked through the portal and Dino was nothing then amazed. He didn't know why, but he felt like he truly belong here. There was the only thing that made Dino angry, it was destroyed lairs, dead bodies and dissolved ectoplasam, he never thought that people are capable for doing something horrible like that.
James knew what Dino was thinking, he probably thought how humans are horrible things or something like that, "Don't be angry on humans, they'll always make a mistake.
"And you are telling that like you are not one of them..."
"Who said I am?"
"Wait! So you are..."
"Yes and no... It's complicated."
"I don't understand," Dino said confused.
"Not yet... But after you read a book about that symbol you showed me, I'm sure that some of your questions will be answered," James said
"Ok... But why did you brought me here?"
"You said that you are not an ordinary person, right?" James said and started to walk towards the old, floating and glowing library with Dino following him.
-Line Break-
James opened the doors for Dino to see, the boy gasped at the sight, there were books everywhere, Dino never saw so many books in one place, but one thing caught his eye. It was an empty, old, desk on which were some old and dusty books, and on one green book was some old Chinese, porcelain vase with a blue dragon on it.
"Who is the owner of this place?" Dino asked, "And why is it looks so abandoned?"
"Well... Someone needed to take over the library after humans dissolved the Ghost Writer in the ectoplasam. Unfortunately, I do not spending much time in here, it is hard to search for some new books. I can't just type the story like Ghost Writer could." James explained and smiled when he saw that Dino decided to pick up the book. "My brother kept me locked by BlueDragon?" Dino readed the name of the book and the author, he opened the book and saw a short note which was saying 'Special thanks to Danny Phantom and Sam Mansom for helping me to break out from my prison'
Dino dropped the book and James ran towards him. "DINO! You ok? What happened?" James shouted. He was scared and confused, he needs to protect the boy, not kill him!
"I'm sorry, but I just got really shocked... How is that possible that my mom is mentioning in this note?" Dino asked shocked and scared.
James smiled, "The answer you are looking for is not in this book, it is written by Dora, the book is not even written by the author I'm looking for. Wait here and don't touch anything if you don't want that books bite you." He said and walked away.
Dino thought that James is crazy and decided to pick up one of the books from the bookshelf, but on Dino's surprise, the book did try to bite him!
Not soon after, James came back with a one big, but really big and black book.
"What's that?" Dino asked, not believing that book can be so big. It was just impossible for Dino's mind to process and he thought that he will pass out at the slightest thought that he will need to read all of that in order to find some answers.
"Here," James gave the book to Dino, "It is written by the owner of that 'DP' symbol," he said and Dino looked at the book's cover. The cover looked exactly the same as the envelope from that letter that his mother get. The book's cover was all black and in the middle was a white 'DP' symbol and at the bottom of the boom was name of the author, written by green letters, 'Written by Danny Phantom'
"Read it with respect, and don't let anything happen to it because it is the only copy," James added, "This book is about the legendary warrior that helped in the darkest hours and as the legend says, he will step out of the shadows when he will be most needed."
"Wow, just wow." Dino left without words.
"It really is," James said and with that he headed out of the library with Dino, but they didn't know that they walked straight into the trap.
"Stop right there," someone shouted and aimed at James. When James got a better look, he recognized the man as Agent K with his army. There is no way that James can fight them and win, he needs a miracle to do something like that, but he'll do anything in his power to protect Dino, son of Danny Phantom and Sam Manson, a future king of the Ghost Zone.
James's eyes widen at the sight, in front of them was a whole army, "Dino, go behind me," he said with a completely different voice, it was full of authority, like the voice of the warrior that was in every war and that saw everything.
"Well, well, well... Look what we got here," some man said and then came out of his hiding. James recognized the man immediately, as did Dino. The only difference is that Dino saw the president, Tucker Foley and James saw an enemy, the man that started the war and betrayed his best friend.
"Do you have something to say in your defense?" Tucker asked.
"Actually, I have a question, why did you betray him like that?" James asked, he still couldn't believe that after so long time of friendship, Tucker could stab a knife into Danny's back. Tucker stayed silent. James didn't how, but Tucker looked somehow different and that black sunglasses really looked good on him!
"None of your business," Tucker answered, "And who is that behind your back?" He asked and looked a bit better at the boy and saw that he is holding a black book with white 'DP' symbol, "It's him, isn't it? He is son of Danny and Sam."
"None of your business," James answered at the same way Tucker did answer on his question. He noticed that a few man's were aiming at him, so he transformed into his ghost form. Dino gasped when he saw that some black rings showed around James's body. They splited and transformed him into a ghost that Dino saw talking to his mother yesterday.
Dino gasped one more time. He just couldn't believe it. The man that is trying to help him to find some answers is a GHOST! The young boy even didn't have a chance to ask a question because everyone started to fire at James and him. Unfortunately, before James had a time to create a while, a billed, made half of metal and half of ectoplasam, shot him in his right shoulder.
James screamed out of pain and when guys were reloading their weapons, James decided to strike back. He used all in his power to stop them for hurting Dino or/and him, but it just wasn't enough. James was caught in the anti-ghost net, so he can't phase through it or break it, and now they were ready to kill the future king of the Ghost Zone, but then, out of nowhere, some ghost in gold showed up.
The ghost landed and raised his head and glared at Tucker's army with his golden eyes. Tucker gulped, but he was also confused, Danny needed to be dead, no one didn't see him for fourteen years except James.
The ghost turned his head and sent a smile to Dino before he jumped into the air and defeated the whole army, leaving Tucker unprotected.
Danny looked at his old friend, but he wasn't angry, he was sad, so sad that a tear escaped from his eye. He turned around and left Tucker alone, he didn't even touch him! Instead, he turned around and glared at James, "You and me will have a little talk," Danny said, with the exactly same voice that he had fourteen years ago. Then Danny looked at his son's green eyes that were examining him. Danny just wanted to run towards his son and give him a bear hug, saying that everything will be fine, but Danny knew that he can't, Dino can't know about him, at least before he is ready.
As did Dino watched how did Danny flew away, only one thing was going in his mind. That ghost had a white 'DP' symbol...
(A/n) Wow... It took me a few days to write this chapter... I"m exhausted, I have a feeling like all of my ideas were drained...
