Here we are chapter two. Hope everyone likes it.
AeonFox: Thank you. I came across a few amnesia stories before but thought. What if know recognizes the amnesiac.
I don't own Danny Phantom.
?
"What's your problem Sam!"
"My problem is you've gone insane Danny! Why can't you see that!"
"It's not crazy to make peace!"
"They're evil Danny! We seen it! All ghosts are!"
"Really then. So, Clockwork is evil. How about Frostbite or Dora. Or how about me? In case you forgotten I'm halfghost!"
Wraith wakes up as the dream ends falling off the couch. Groaning, he looks around trying to figure out where he was as yesterday's events came back to him.
"Right, I'm at Kitty's and Johnny's place." He whispered to himself. Seeing no one else was up he decided to make breakfast for everyone. About a half hour later Kitty slowly woke up to a pleasant smell filling the house.
"Mmm. Johnny that smells terrific." Kitty says as she gets up.
"Yeah Kitten. You outdone yourself if the smell is anything to go by." Johnny yawned out.
…
…
…
"Wait what?" The two said at the same time. Looking at each other they bolted to the kitchen to find Wraith washing the dishes. He looks over at the couple before greeting them.
"Morning you two. Hope you don't mind but I made breakfast for everyone." He gestures to the table behind him. Several plates were filled with pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon.
"Well, I won't turn down a meal." Johnny said as he grabs a plate. Taking a bite of a pancake he stops mid chew.
"These are better than what Kitty makes." He then realizes what he said out loud as his girlfriend gives him a look. Chuckling nervously, he offers a plate to her. She takes it and after taking a bite she moans.
"Okay you're off the hook." Kitty says to her boyfriend before turning to their guest. "Did you add cinnamon?"
"I added a pinch of cinnamon and sugar after pouring the mix. Adds a bit more flavor." Wraith shrugged.
"Well thank you anyway. Now follow me, I picked out some clothes for you last night." Kitty said. Following the biker ghost, Wraith was handed a bag before being pushed in the bathroom.
Putting everything on, Wraith looked at himself in the mirror. He was now wearing a green sleeveless shirt, black pants, and black boots with green trim along with a pair of fingerless black gloves. Overall, he looks like a biker, which makes sense given who he got the clothes from.
Hearing the door open he turns to see Ember walk in without makeup and her flaming hair cascading down her back. She stops in her tracks when she sees him.
"Ignoring the lack of knocking. How can your hair fall like that? It's fire! Fire doesn't fall." Wraith asked confused. Ember merely looked at him like he was an idiot.
"We're ghosts. Normal rules don't apply. Now are you done in here?" Nodding his head he walked out and went back to the kitchen.
"So, what now?" Wraith asks, grabbing a plate.
"Well, we could show you around some of the major sights." Kitty suggested.
"Don't we have to worry about those guys from yesterday?" Wraith asked.
"You're right about that but here's the thing. It's always going to be like that. Walker wants to put everyone in his prison. You just need to roll with it." Johnny said taking another bite of bacon.
"But isn't he in charge of this place?" The couple looked at each other before bursting out in laughter.
"S-sorry Wraith but. Haha. But Walker actually has little control outside of his prison. You see outside of lairs the Ghost Zone is basically no man's land. Sure, there are some rules but nothing too crazy." Kitty explained.
"Then who's in charge?"
"That depends where you are. Like Kitty said its no man's land between realms and each realm has their own rules." Johnny shrugs.
"Are they all like your home?" Wraith asked.
"Not even close dipstick." Ember said as she came in. "No realm is the same. Some are like Kitty's and Johnny's and others are entire kingdoms filled with other ghosts. Mmm. These pancakes are amazing. New recipe Kitty?"
"Actually, our new friend here made them." Ember turns to Wraith in surprise.
"Really? Huh after seeing the grease monkey here cook, I would never think I see a guy cook something this good."
"That's rich coming from the girl who nearly burned our realm down." Johnny grumbled.
"I said I was sorry. Besides how was I supposed to know that would happen?"
"Ember, you put a pizza in the oven while it was still in the box." Kitty deadpanned to Ember's dismay. The four continued to talk as they ate. Soon enough, they were out in the ghost zone flying around visiting some of the sites that many of the ghosts frequent. A collection of realms that doubled as restaurants and bars, a realm that was a bowling alley, a movie theater and a mall. One thing did catch Wraith's eye though.
"Is that an observatory?!" He asked excitedly. Wasting no time, he flew inside the floating building. The others quickly flew after him not wanting to see their new friend do something stupid. Once inside they saw that Wraith was acting like a kid in a candy store.
"There's Ursa major and minor. And there's the Sombrero galaxy and over there is the Triangulum galaxy!" He pointed out in excitement.
"Looks like we have a real space nut on our hands." Ember snorted. Honestly, she found it funny that the tough amnesiac who beat down Bullet was now acting like an excited puppy.
"And why not? Space is amazing! Take our Sun for example. It's a yellow star, the third coolest on the spectrum unlike the blue stars who are the hottest. Personally, those were always my favorites. There's just something beautiful about them you know." Wraith rambled on.
"I think we found his obsession." Johnny whispered to the girls as they watched and listened to Wraith point out constellations and explain what they are.
"Well, I think it's nice, besides it could've been a lot worse." Kitty said, thinking about some obsessions she had seen. While most were fine, occasionally she seen one that made her skin crawl.
"Yeah, like hunting." Ember grumbles remembering her ex. Wraith tenses up like he was shocked before turning to Ember.
"Hey are you alright?"
"Of course, I am. Why would you ask that?" Ember asked confused.
"I don't know, it's like I suddenly felt some sort of spiky feeling from you." Wraith answers.
"A spiky feeling dipstick? Could you explain it any vaguer?" Ember deadpanned. Kitty seemed to be in thought before having an idea.
"Wraith, could you close your eyes for a second while focusing on Ember?" Kitty asked. Confused but curious he listened to the biker ghost. Kitty smiled before whispering something into Ember's ear.
"Whoa, that was different. It was like I was feeling a warm breeze on a summer day."
"Okay let's do that again but this time focus on Johnny." Kitty said as she whispers something in her boyfriend's ear.
"Brr. It felt like I was left out in the rain during fall." He shivered rubbing his arms for warmth.
"Looks like I'm right." Kitty said. "You just discovered another power, Wraith. You're an empath, someone who can sense emotions." She explained as they left the observatory.
"So those feelings were their emotions." Wraith said, turning to the others.
"Yeah, Kitty asked me to think about my motorcycle being wrecked." Johnny pouted.
"So, sadness. What about you?" Before Ember could answer Kitty did.
"Oh, that's simple, I asked her to think of her music, so love." Kitty said as Ember gives her a quick but thankful look. Wraith saw it but figured it wasn't his business.
"How did you know it was emotions I was sensing?"
"We have a…friend, no, an acquaintance who gets stronger from misery. She once explained that different emotions feel different to her. I just put two and two together." Kitty explained. Before anyone could say anything an ecto-beam flew by them. Turning to the source they see Walker, Bullet, and twenty of Walker's men floating in front of them.
"So, this is where my prisoners went off to. Evading police, assault on an officer, and using powers in public that's all against the rules." He smirked. I'm going to enjoy watching all of you rot in your cells."
Human World-Fenton Works
Things were not going well for the family of four. Last night Danny went to Sam's to hang out with his friends, but he never came home. At first, they thought he was running late or he fell asleep, or in Jazz's case he was out fighting a ghost. But after calling his phone Tucker picked up and told them Danny left hours ago but he left his phone. They tried to look for him but found nothing, after that they called the police. The officers said they would look for Danny and told them to go home and rest. The family reluctantly did, knowing they could search the next day. Jazz was sitting on the couch while her parents were out looking in case Danny came home. Her phone began to ring, picking it up she saw it was her dad calling.
"Anything?" Jazz asks. The patriarch sighed.
"Nothing Jazz. So far, the police have no leads, and we searched the whole town and found nothing." He groaned in frustration.
"We'll find Danny, Dad. I'm sure of it." Jazz reassured her father.
"I hope so Jazzy pants. I hope so. We'll keep looking. Call us if Danny comes home." Jack says before hanging up. There was a knock on the door, getting up Jazz opens it to fine Tucker and Sam.
"Good, you're here." Jazz says as she brings them to the lab. "Do either of you know where Danny went last night?"
"Sorry Jazz, I was running late, and Danny left by the time I got there." Tucker answered.
"I don't know either, I didn't even notice his phone until it began to ring." Sam said, looking away. Jazz, noticing this, felt like Sam was hiding something but before she could say anything Tucker interrupted.
"Why don't we just use the Boo-merang?"
"That's why I brought you down here." Jazz sighs as she brings them to a table with a disassembled Boo-merang on it. "Mom was upgrading it to they could find ghost faster and add a capture feature."
"Dang. So that's why you haven't used it." Tucker said as he examined the device.
"Can you fix it?" Jazz asks. Tucker squinted as he looked over it.
"Yeah, but it will take some time. A day, maybe two days max. Even with the blueprints undoing everything your mom change will be tricky."
"Do what you can Tucker. I just hope we find Danny soon." Jazz says looking at a family photo on the wall.
Ghost Zone-Outside the observatory
"Umph!" Wraith grunted after he took a punch to the face. Things weren't going well. Walker's men were swarming them and Walker himself was taking pot shots at the four.
Wraith growled in frustration and let out a blast of lightning striking the crooked cops. To his shock though, the lightning did nothing. Seeing this Walker let out a laugh.
"Did you really think we wouldn't be prepared. Me and my men are wearing suits design for lightning nullification. Normally I break them out for some of the stronger ghost but since you gave us so much trouble, I felt it was appropriate." The ghostly warden taunted. A couple of cops grabbed his arms trying to restrain him. He sees his friends begin to be overwhelmed, due to his empath abilities he can feel their fear. It was like lightning, cold lightning, cold, cold, his core began humming, cold, it began humming even louder as Wraith's eyes turned to an icy blue. Then an icy blue aura began to cover his entire body before it exploded out knocking everyone away, those closest to Wraith were frozen solid, while everyone else had parts of their bodies encased in ice. Walker was stunned to see most of his men were frozen as he sees Wraith glaring at him. Quickly Walker shoots an ecto-beam hoping to take out the new ghost only for it to strike a shield. Wraith flew like a rocket and punched Walker in the face following with an uppercut. Then Wraith brought both hands above his head and unleashed a hammer blow onto the corrupt warden.
"GAH!" Turning around Wraith saw Bullet being blasted away after he tried to attack him from behind.
"We're even!" Ember called out before she slammed her guitar into a cop's head.
Smirking Wraith flew in between Warden and Bullet.
"Is this really all you got? I expected more from the so called "Warden of the Ghost Zone"." He taunted.
"You damn Punk! I will have order! My order!" Walker yells shooting an ecto-beam at the same time as Bullet. Wraith turns intangible letting the beams harmlessly fly through him and strike Walker and Bullet instead. Smirking, Wraith flies at Bullet grabbing and throwing him at Walker. Once they collided Wraith shot an ice beam freezing them in a large block of ice. Grabbing the block of ice, Wraith began to spin in place building up momentum before he let go, throwing Walker and his deputy deep into the Ghost Zone. The other cops seeing their leaders beaten quickly grabbed their fallen and flew away.
"Cowards." Johnny spat as his shadow returns to him.
"What did you expect? The dipsticks can't beat anyone on their own. Heck even Box Ghost could beat them one on one." Ember said.
"Well hopefully they won't come back for a while." Kitty said before turning to Wraith. "And you. Lightning, ice, and empath powers. You're going to be pretty powerful at this rate."
Wraith smiled before doubling over in pain. The other three watched in horror as cracks began to form all over him. Soon though they sealed up and disappeared. Wraith was groaning as the three rushed to him.
"Hey man are you still with us?" Johnny asked.
"What the Hell was that?!" Ember shouted.
"I don't know. I never seen that with any ghost before?" Kitty said as Wraith floated back up.
"I think it's over." He panted. "Does that happen when gaining a new power?"
"Maybe, it's different for everyone. Either way we need to get you to ghouly medical." Kitty said with the others agreeing.
Human World- Vlad's Lab
Meanwhile Vlad was in his destroyed lab. He was in the middle of repairs when holo-Maddie popped up.
"Damage report done sweetie. Eighty percent of the lab had been destroyed, all samples for project New Dawn have been destroyed as well." Vlad snarls hearing that.
"What about the samples during the procedure?"
"Only half of the samples were able to be infused. The rest were most likely destroyed in the explosion, beefcake." Holo-Maddie answered. Vlad growled and threw a piece of broken equipment at the wall.
"What were the samples that were infused?" He breathed out.
"Samples from Bertrand, Frostbite, Technus, Vortex, and Nocturne were all successfully infused, Honey."
"Well at least its not a complete lost." Vlad mutters as he hears his phone ring. Picking it up he hears Jacks voice.
"Daniel is missing. Don't worry Jack I'll have my top men on it." He hangs up. "So, Daniel is still in the Ghost Zone. Well, this may be an opportunity. Holo-Maddie, calculate the proper amount of ectoplasm I will need. I have some calls to make." Vlad said as he made his way upstairs. If he had stayed a moment longer, he would have seen Holo-Maddie glitch out before beginning her tasks.
What's happening to Wraith? What is Vlad up to? And What is Sam hiding? Find out in future chapters of A Wraith in the Ghost Zone!
Have a nice day and please review.
