Ch.8
They brought Jean back to the mansion, and checked her over, but she couldn't stop worrying about Danny. When they were done, they all went to bed. The next morning, the adults gathered in an office, and began to talk.
"Alright, first off, what did Danny do?" Storm asked. Jean sighed, and rubbed her head. "When Logan tried to kill me, The Blue Phoenix's desire to protect the Red Phoenix rose up, but Danny's instinct to protect everybody won out in the end. He entered my mind, and took the Red Phoenix, putting it in his. I know this will sound crazy, but without the Phoenix, I don't feel whole. It is apart of me, and Danny took it away, though ultimately saving me." Jean explained.
Everyone looked at her in shock, and Jean sighed again. "He knew what would happen, but he couldn't see me dead."
Everyone looked down.
"So, why did the Red Phoenix fly off, but then turn into the Blue Phoenix as he flew?" Logan asked.
"That's a simple answer. The Red Phoenix had control when he flew off, but the Blue Phoenix, being Danny's original empowerment, took control, even if the Red Phoenix is its creator." Jean answered.
"So, Danny has control of both Phoenix's?" Hank asked.
"No. There's Danny, the Red Phoenix, and the Blue Phoenix; three separate consciousnesses, each one fighting to take control. Danny has no control over the other two, but he can fight for control over his body." Jean informed.
"So, how are we going to find Danny, and bring him down?" Storm asked. Hank leaned forward. "It won't be easy. I can tell you that much."
Jean shook her head. "No, it won't, because the Red Phoenix and the Blue Phoenix are connected, as parent and child. The Red Phoenix wouldn't dare allow anyone near Danny within a five mile radius."
Logan got up from the wall he was leaning on. "How 'bout we find Danny before we think of a plan. I mean, all we did was see him fly off. We don't know if he got to his destination, or if the Red Phoenix took control."
Bobby, Kitty, and Pete came running in. "Danny's on the news."
The adults got up, and followed the kid's. As they walked in, they saw a blue phoenix flying across the screen.
"It really is a frightening scene. No one knows if this is an escaped creature or a mutant on the loose. The organization known as the G.I.W. have already tried to take this beast down, but it completely wiped them out. After it was done, it took off in the direction of Amity Park, Illinois. We have just been informed it disappeared in the outskirts. Witnesses say it took the shape of a human, before stumbling into a cave. The entrance iced over before anyone could get in it, and the ice is nearly impossible to break…"
"Found him." Logan commented. Storm smacked his head. "We need to get to the jet."
Logan nodded, and they headed back downstairs, got on the jet, and headed off. Logan and Storm drove, and Jean and Hank sat in the back. Jean looked out the window, lost in thought. It took a few hours, but they made it. They landed nearby, and exited. They walked to where the iced over entrance was.
They all tried to break the ice, but it was impossible. All it did was chip.
"We don't have time for this." Logan hissed, and tried to smash it again, along with the others, except Jean. She closed her eyes, and focused on Danny's mind.
Red Phoenix, Blue Phoenix, Danny, Young Danny smiling and gesturing to come.
She gasped, and opened her eyes. The other's looked at her worriedly. "What is it?" Storm asked. Jean didn't answer, as she walked forward, and touched the ice. A hole appeared in the ice, just big enough to walk through. The adults looked at each other, before Jean walked in, and the hole closed up behind her.
From each side, the adults tried to break the ice, but it was useless. Jean set up a mind link.
What just happened? Logan practically screamed.
I think Danny just wants me. Jean answered calmly.
Why you though? Storm asked. B
ecause he still thinks of me as his mother.
Logan rubbed his face. Be careful, Jean.
Jean nodded, but they didn't see it. I will.
The red-head turned, and started into the cave. It was dark and she could hardly see. Just when she couldn't anymore, she saw a light up ahead. When she got closer, she saw it was Danny.
Danny was floating in the air, on his back, and he looked asleep. Half of his body flared red, while the other blue, but overall it glowed white.
Jean was very surprised by this, to say the least. She wanted to hug him, but didn't dare touch him.
I found him. She said, and sent an image of Danny.
What the heck is wrong with him? Hank asked. Jean looked at Danny's peaceful face, or at least, it looked peaceful. He's lying in dormant. I might have to go into his mind.
Jean, you have to be careful in there. If you're not, you could get hurt. Logan said.
Jean sighed out loud. I know Logan.
She could practically see his head shaking.
I'm serious, Jean. You already know he has ten walls and ten guards. Each wall has a key, that's why it's so hard to get through them.
A mental image of the key appeared in Jean's mind.
His mind set is very complicated. It's a labyrinth. Only the guards really know how to get to the mind's center. Listen to them. They're really helpful.
Jean nodded, but she knew he couldn't see it. Alright Logan, I'll be careful.
Before, he could say anything; she sat down by Danny's head, and entered his mind.
The Blue Phoenix wavered in its flight as Danny tried again to take back control. It hissed and told him to stay quiet and leave him alone. Danny would have none of that and tried, in vain, to take back control of what was his.
A green blast erupted from the trees and crashed into the phoenix's chest. Danny, in his mind, screamed loudly at the pain. The Red Phoenix screeched loudly at the blast, worried for her baby's sake. The Blue Phoenix shrugged it off. The ectoplasmic blast had no effect on him, as he was not an ectoplasmic being.
Helicopters painted white appeared in the sky around the Blue Phoenix. White vans on the ground surrounded the phoenix from the ground. Footmen lined the area in-between the cans. The Blue Phoenix only sighed while Danny huddled in a dark corner of his mind, trembling and crying. The Red Phoenix fought to take control and blast every last helicopter out of the sky so they could crash into the vans, creating an explosion that would surely bring a fiery death to every last government agent. The Blue Phoenix fought her back and cooed, telling her reassurances that nothing would or could hurt him.
The Blue Phoenix also tried to comfort Danny, who's memory doors were flying open without his consent. His consolations didn't work too well though. Danny was sobbing hysterically.
The government agents pointed their guns and cannons at the large fire bird and let loose. The blasts disintegrated upon contact and the Blue Phoenix didn't even flinch. The Red Phoenix was trying to, once again, take control and blast every agent to Kingdom Come. And Danny held himself in a ball as everything hurt. Surprisingly, the teen pulled himself from the ground of his mindscape and demanded control of his body.
The Red Phoenix, Blue Phoenix, and Danny all screamed at each other, ordering control over the other two.
The Blue Phoenix pushed them back and, for once, let loose a stream of blue fire from his mouth, thrashing in the sky so the flames blew in every direction. It destroyed the helicopters and obliterated the vans. The agents in the way were turned to dust within seconds.
Danny screamed again. He didn't like the destruction, even though these same people cut him open like a corpse. He pushed towards the Blue Phoenix and not only demanded control, but also began fighting.
The Blue Phoenix's form wavered in the sky, a humanoid form being seen within the large bird. The figure vanished as the Blue Phoenix fought back at Danny. The teen, tears still running down his face, glared and screamed at the Blue Phoenix. He screamed because he was hurt, he was tired, he wanted his control back so he could go home. The teen wanted nothing more than to go home.
The Blue Phoenix's form wavered again, the humanoid figure inside of him becoming brighter as he became stronger. The blue fire bird flew towards the ground and landed, just as Danny took control and turned back into his human body.
He panted and cried as he stood in the midst of blue flames. The flames snaked around him and burned everything in their path.
The teen collapsed to his knees, coughed, and hurled up the little food in his stomach. After getting rid of all the contents in his stomach, he dry-heaved, gasping for breath. The tears dripped off his face and onto the ground.
Whining, the teen pulled himself from the ground, using a scorched tree. He began stumbling from the wreckage of the government agents, arms wrapped around his middle. His head pounded when the Blue and Red Phoenixes were fighting for control, each screeching at him in their own voices. Weakly, his mind self locked itself in a dark room where he was allowed to rest.
The teen's body continued to stumble through the forest. He could hear lots of people nearing him and shied away from them. He wanted to be alone and not being questioned by the reporters or bystanders. His head hurt too much for that right now.
Danny saw a cave in front of him. Stumbling, he entered and used the wall as a support. He stretched out his hand, his entire shaking with the strain, and created an ice wall in front of the entrance. No one could enter. He'd kill himself before he was surrounded by unknown visitors that he could harm with a thought.
Danny stumbled to the back of the cave, where he laid on the ground tiredly. He wrapped his arm around his middle and whimpered, curling in a ball on his side. The two phoenixes continued to yell at him, ordering control of the host's body. The teen continued to hide in his little room and wondered what he could do to get them to stop yelling.
After a conference with the other guards and guides of his mind, he shooed Young Danny out back into the labyrinth of cave tunnels. He split the large group of guards and guides into two groups. He sent one of the groups to another room. His group readied themselves in their room and drew in the Red Phoenix in, while the second group drew the Blue Phoenix into their room.
The battle for control began.
You all should be happy! Danny's part wasn't even part of the original write up! I just wrote this, like right now. Thought you guys would enjoy it. XD
Kadzait: Eager to please, aren't we?
Eh. This chapter really lacked Danny-action so I threw some in there. I'm happier with it now. XD
