I'm feeling generous...mainly because of the excitement of the 'After Term Party' my class is planning. I'm starting to question my class' mental stability, mine included. Our classes being parasite, micro&immun, lab animal, nursing, and diagnostic; we are trying to create food based off of our classes. Fruit punch is being blood, fruit bowl is being bacteria, pigs in a blanket are being tapeworms, a pic of an x-ray on a cake, soda concoction is processing chemicals (me), and cat litter cake (me)...we are totally loosing it. My hands are going to be full this weekend, and I'm totally having fun.
I know the scene in the memory is not exact, I was too lazy to rewatch it.
Once again! I DO NOT own Danny Phantom or Arrow.
Don't let fear be your enemy.
Chap 10: All Just a Dream
He flew high above his town, a peaceful night enjoying the breeze as he passes under the stars. The full moon shows two figures below him riding on silver scooters.
"Hey Danny, we're going to head home." Tucker stated his voice slightly off.
"Okay. Sam, can you stay behind for a moment?" He looked down to see beautiful amethyst eyes staring back into his radioactive green.
"What do you want?" she asked leaning to the side.
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me tomorrow night?" he blushed, trying to calm his racing heart.
"I would love to!" Danny smiled at the answer. "But, something happened recently that I can't." he faltered. In a few blinks Sam's face was burned and had scratches bleeding. "You let me get killed! It was your fault!"
Danny shot up breathing rapidly, something broke apart flinging pieces of metal across the floor. "What is—" his eyes widen, vaguely remembering waking up to a yell and seeing a black ghost spread some kind of powder on him. "Who was that?" Standing up he knocked on Diggle's and Lyla's room, there was no answer. Opening the door slowly he noticed the two helmets with electricity flowing between the two. Walking over to Diggle he began to reach for the helmet to take it off only to get shocked. Pulling back quickly he transformed and flew outside. The streets were empty, cars thrown to the side. Every person had helmets on. Flying through the neighborhood two ghosts with closed eyes grabbed his arms. "Who are you guys?" Using his cyrokinesis, he froze the two then snapped them off making them fall into the pavement. He landed by them walking forward he was met with the ghost that started everything.
"You are not supposed to be up." The ghost called.
"Who are you?" Phantom asked ignoring what he said.
"I am Nocturne." He flung Phantom into a building.
Retaliating he used a charged ecto-blast to cut Nocturne, turning around he watched as he regenerated.
"You cannot hurt me." a blue strike came towards Phantom, who attacked with his own strike. The attacks exploded but Phantom moved out of the way. "Sleepwalkers, attack him." The ghosts from earlier formed and jumped on him, preventing movement. They froze over and exploded leaving a crater from where he was. Speeding towards Nocturne he punched him with no effect. Thinking quickly, he sent ice down his arms fully freezing nocturne. Moving away he blasted the ice, making Nocturne fall to the ground.
Nocturne brought his hand up to attack back when it only frizzled out. Angry and frustrated he left, disappearing from the area.
"I need help." Returning to Diggle's and Lyla's room, he stood there trying to figure out a way to wake him. "I woke up when my dream changed into a nightmare. So, I need to wake them up by startling them in their dreams." He turned intangible, "I hope this works." And entered the dream of John Diggle.
A few minutes later Diggle woke up with a gasp and Phantom flew out nearly landing on his head. He stood up to see Diggle glaring at him. "Don't ever do that again." He warned. He turned to Lyla beside him who still had the helmet on. He reached over to take it off only to pull back at getting shocked.
"Good to know I wasn't the only one affected." Phantom stated.
"Why not wake her up?"
"She's pregnant. This is a new ghost, this fight might injure her and the child."
"Good call. What is going on?"
"A new ghost by the name of Nocturne put the whole city to sleep. I'm guessing the energy from the dreams somehow makes him stronger. We need to figure out where that machine is at."
"We'll need Oliver, Felicity and Roy." Phantom grabbed Diggle's arm and flew in the direction towards Felicity's and Roy's. "If you're injured, how are you able to use your powers?"
Phantom turned towards him, showing all his pain through his eyes. "I'm ignoring it enough for it not to bother me."
"Are you insane!? Your condition could cost us the fight. You should rest first."
"The city comes first." Phantom said shutting him up. "Besides, wasn't all that different back in Amity." He mumbled after. Diggle looked on shocked, 'What has he been through?'
"There's Felicity's." He pointed to the home. Phantom phased them through the wall. "That still feels weird."
"Once we beat Nocturne we can all get a proper night's sleep." Phantom let go and entered Felicity's dream.
"That is still weird."
A moment later Felicity sat up screaming with Phantom flying out this time landing on his platforms. "What happened!?"
"New ghost invades city by placing everyone to sleep, he gets powerful by feeding off of those dream by a machine, which we have yet to find." Phantom explained simply. "We have yet to wake up Roy and Oliver."
"Drop me off at the foundry so I can get started." Phantom grabbed Diggle and Felicity, who was not fond of heights, towards the foundry.
"Never again." She powered up her computers as Phantom left with Diggle to get Roy.
"All that is left is to wake up Oliver." Phantom said placing the two on the floor. He walked over to the peaceful man, he stopped sadden.
"What's wrong?" Felicity asked from where she was.
"This is probably the most peaceful sleep he's gotten. I know what that is like."
"The city is in danger, he'll have your head for not waking him up."
"I know." Phantom reluctantly entered Oliver's dream. When he showed back up, he was upset and moved out of the way of Oliver before he got punched.
"Why would you do that!?" Phantom ignored him, walking over to his work station grabbing the only arrow that is useful for the problem at hand. He continued to hand out the various tools, eyeing Oliver before handing his over as well.
"Felicity, do we have a location?" Phantom asked.
"About two miles away in a mattress warehouse."
"Of course." He watched as she brought up the cameras. "Everyone needs to be with for this."
"What are you planning?" Oliver asked coming over.
"I need time to beat Nocturne while his machine gets shut down. Felicity you are the only one able to do this. The rest of you need to protect her, Sleepwalkers will attack back."
"What is happening!?" Oliver finally asked almost yelling at the hybrid.
"A new ghost by the name of Nocturne put the city in a deep sleep providing the perfect dream. Those dreams give them him the energy to get stronger."
"Fine let's go." Oliver stated still upset.
They drove north slightly, watching the skies for Sleepwalkers and Phantom, who was keeping the ghosts off the others. When they arrived there were two more Sleepwalkers guarding the door. They watched Phantom act quickly and froze the four before destroying them with a kick.
The doors were opened with a kick, they saw a machine draw in people's dreams. Phantom flew up to break the glass, but nothing happened. He flew back towards the others.
"What's wrong?"
"I have to go into Nocturne's dream and wake him up. Felicity will you be okay to power down the machine?"
"Yeah."
"The rest of you needs to protect her. The ecto-guns should hold them off." he floated up slightly, then felt a hand on his shoulder. "What?" he asked glancing towards Arrow.
"You're not going alone."
"As much as I appreciate the offer, you're staying."
"Not with your injuries the way they are."
"Fine."
"It's time to save the city."
Phantom smiled and flew them in. When they arrived, thousands of Sleepwalkers marched towards a tower that Nocturne was on top of. Phantom provided a strong ecto-blast and threw it towards Nocturne, who was hit. The Sleepwalkers stopped and turned towards the duo. They fought the best they could but the attacks did nothing. Phantom grabbed onto Arrow's shoulder to get them out when they didn't go anywhere.
"You're in my dream ghost child, my rules." He said. "You saw the nightmare of others, yet they don't know any of yours." The landscape changed to see ruined buildings and six people trapped against a vat of chemicals that were heating up.
"No, not this again." Phantom whispered. Arrow looked over at his horrid expression confused. Looking to his right he saw Phantom laying lifeless on the ground, another ghost above him. This one had white flaming hair, red eyes, and the same insignia as Phantom. He watched as Phantom struggled to get off the ground.
"I'm still here, I still exist. You still turn into me." the ghost stated.
"I promised my family that would never happen."
The other ghost laughed, "You promised?"
"Yes, I promised!" His yell sent out waves of energy that pushed back the other ghost.
"What? I wasn't supposed to get that power for another ten years."
"The future is not set in stone." Phantom took another deep breath and sent the energy back again. This threw the other ghost and a stray car into a building that crumbled down. Phantom lost enough energy to revert back into his human form. The ghost was sucked in the thermos. Danny turned around running back towards the vat unable to return to his ghost form, he tripped on a piece of debris falling down. He looked on struggling to get up. The vat exploded taking the six people with it.
The scene returned to Nocturne's dream. Phantom beside him had a tear fall down. Phantom once again blasted Nocturne for once getting him hurt. "What?"
"They did it!" Phantom realized, blasting Nocturne multiple times. However, Nocturne retaliated knocking Phantom out of the air into the ground. Arrow aimed at Nocturne with the arrow and fired. It weakened him as Phantom sucked him into the thermos.
They returned back to reality as Nocturne blew off the cover. Everyone who had the ecto-guns fired, making him shrink in size. Danny threw more ecto-blasts when another arrow flew by him. Taking not of what happened, he sucked Nocturne into the thermos. The sleepwalkers around them vanished. "How did you use it again?" Phantom asked coming down shakily.
"It was there." Phantom shrugged at his answer.
"Looks like you defeated another dark god." Felicity stated coming over.
"No, we did." Phantom said.
"Can we get back? I want some real sleep now." Arsenal complained.
They walked out to the car, this time Phantom stepping in as well. "Are you okay?" Arrow asked.
"The fight is taking its toll." He said leaning back.
"Sleep, you've earned it." They watched as his eyes closed, the white ring returning him to human.
"You seem to be getting along." Diggle stated from the driver's seat.
"Nocturne showed one of his worst nightmares, it was a memory." He faltered. "Now wishing I never witnessed it." The others looked between the two before paying attention back on the road. 'Do me a favor, if I ever turn evil on my own violation, kill me.'
Yeah, another is out. Thank you who are reviewing, I love reading what you've typed! Just another 4 days and Chap 11 will be up. hehehe, hopefully!
