Chapter four: Songs of Old and War dancing
.
Twas early in a Friday morning, the sun had rise high above the horizon and the birds happily sang their morning tunes, young Danny turn to see his alarm clock that rested next to him on a nightstand, 8:30 it read, the boy remain in bed for he had been suspended from school for two weeks due to his violent outburst towards Dash and his crew, nevertheless it was far better than to be expel as Mr Lancer wanted so badly, though he regretfully had to thank Vlad for it.
.
The ghost boy had endured the first week of his so call punishment for it was hard to believe it to be a punishment for the kid had enjoyed to his heart content the joys of his video-games, unsupervised internet, late-night adult television and of course his afternoon dates with Jazz followed by his hanging out with Sam and Tucker, more than anything it seem like a reward, though his parents had a strange mixture of pride and disappointment for all his actions, on one side he stood up to the school bullies to protect his beloved sister yet on the other side things got so out of control that three kids were send to the hospital, it got so bad that even Vlad had step in claiming to be Danny's real father creating even more confusion in this whole mess.
.
Jack had wave it off saying "Vladdy is just trying to help out", while Maddie figure the man had a more sinister agenda in mind.
.
After a few moments of reflecting on his current problems Danny sat up on his bed, letting the warm sheets slide off him, the boy reach out to turn on his radio, during his "time out" he had come across a station that play old 1920s music to the 1960s, the ghost boy had taken a liking to that era music in particular 1950s rock and roll, he had the privilege of playing music rather loud since his very more than modest apartment was in the corner of the second floor, thankfully no one live next door, the building was basically empty with the exception of a couple a tenants on the lower floor. Soon the kid drag his lazy feet to his old bathroom that clearly was in a desperate need of a good cleaning or rather a good repair, the toilet had dark stains, the mirror had large cracks and the shower was rusting, even so there was always hot water.
.
-"what am i gonna do to solve this mess? How can i tell Jazz the truth now without hurting her? Damn Vlad he just had to open his damned mouth"- said the boy in anger for the hundredth time this week as he shower while listing to new favorite radio station while it played hip swing music, the upbeat tunes made the kid forget his current situation, soon he drown in the sounds of yesteryear.
.
After a while Danny walk out the shower much more relax, with nothing more than a towel tightly wrap around his waist, the kid groom himself as he heard the station start playing his so prefer old rock and roll making the teen step out the bathroom dancing to the rhythm of "rock around the clock" his new favorite song, after seeing the dance on internet once, Danny tried his very best to imitated the moves yet he didn't stop even when the towel fell off leaving him completely naked after all there was no need to hide anything in the privacy of his apartment, the curtains were shut and the door was lock so the boy continue dancing while singing along with the radio.
.
With his left hand the young boy pretended to hold a microphone as he swing his hips from left to right while singing at the top of his lungs, the song all too soon come to an end, dear Danny turn around pointing to the door for a grand finale, yet his heart stop for a second at the sight that lay before him.
.
-"Good morning little badger"- said Vlad while leaning against the wall with a creepy smirk as he look towards the young teenager.
.
Danny question with anger the reason he walk in uninvited. The old silver hair man who was no older than Danny's father look straight at him, taking notice that the kid actually had battle scars on his chest and legs despite his unnatural healing abilities not to mention he was slightly well tone.
.
-"Well i came here for two reasons; first to invite you for breakfast, and second to talk about the reason you've been living here"- said Vlad as he move his eyes away from the kid since he didn't have the habit of ogling young boys
.
-"By the way even if i like and enjoy your new found taste in finer music and ... Artist dancing... Could you get dress... Please"- continue Vlad with a meek voice.
.
The young raven hair boy turn redder than a tomato as he came to realize he was still naked in front of his once archenemy, shaking in embarrassment Danny cover his small genitalia while he observe the older man step out the door as he told the kid "i'll be waiting outside, little badger."-
.
With a sensation of humiliation the ghost boy felt his feet weight more than a ton each even so he drag himself over to his drawer in a robot like fashion still processing his embarrassment. Danny pull out his usual blue jeans and white t-shirt.
.
-"Damn you Vlad not even Jazz has seen me naked"- thought out loud as he hastily got dress yet as he put on his shirt he notice something odd in his train of thoughts -"why would i want Jazz to see me naked, it not like i want to see her na..."- Danny stop his thoughts and violently shook his head.
.
-"No matter what, she is still my... Sister"- continue the ghost boy almost in defeat. The teen step out slamming the door behind him as he soon made his way towards Vlad -"surely your gonna treat me to something fancy, Daddy" said the raven hair boy with a little too much sarcasm lace with childlike anger as he walk to Vlad's needlessly expensive car.
.
On their way to the restaurant Danny couldn't help but wonder how Jazz was doing, she was starting to make dangerous questions such as who Danny's parents were and why he didn't live with them, why he live alone, though he somehow manage to dodge the questions, that didn't stop her from inquiring within other sources nonetheless and thankfully she kept from asking too personal questions, despite Jazz been very curious she still respected her boyfriends privacy as she expected him to answer most if not all of those troublesome questions though the boy knew all to well he would have to answer sooner or later whether he wanted or not.
.
-"She's gonna be piss when she finds out"- thought Danny as he wonder if it was really a bad thing if she didn't find out.
.
The quiet and somewhat boring drive was abruptly disturbed by the sound of Rock around the clock, though Danny love that song it was very annoying to hear it since it was the same song he was caught by Vlad in a most embarrassing moment, anyone would think the older man was taunting the kid, with cold eyes Danny turn his head over to Vlad.
.
-"Say should the Mayor of Amity Park be driving his own car, i thought you had chauffeur for this kind of stuff" said Danny annoyed by the music chose.
.
-"Even i enjoyed a good drive once in a while"- Vlad laugh and said as he turn the volume for a song from Little Richard name keep a knockin, Danny took that as a cue to shut up.
.
While the raven hair boy had his unwanted outgoing with his "new dad", over at Casper High Mr Lancer couldn't get over the whole mess that took place a mere week ago, he look over to the empty seat where Danny should be at this moment and wonder just how mysterious the kid turn out to be, through out his many years as a teacher it was the first time he couldn't "crack open" a student, Mr lancer always thought the boy to be a smart but lazy pupil yet now it turns out he's the son of the mayor.
.
-"What a mess"- said the fat teacher under his breath still worried for his possible outcome.
.
His eyes carefully move towards the empty seats were his favorite students should be, both kids were still recovering from the hard yet one sided fight. Dash was in his own house agonizing by his broken ribs and swollen face while Kwan unfortunately had to be hospitalized due to his broken knee unluckily for the Asian Jock whatever football career he had ever dream of pursuing was now long gone, Lancer had no idea the young and frail Danny was strong enough to cause such damage to boys that double his size and weight which only brought more questions to his mind.
.
-"Just who are you Danny?" thought the teacher as he question himself if Vlad was the reason Danny ran out of the classroom at random times.
.
-"Perhaps those were the only times they could meet up?"- thought the fat man. Lancer eyes jump over to the goth girl Sam and the techno geek Tucker both close friends of Danny who were right now concentrated on their school assignments, one kid more than the other.
.
-"Do they know about Danny been the son of the Mayor? They gotta know, they're always together after all"- mentally question himself as the lunch bell rang.
All the teens within the class rush out to the cafeteria or to the school yard without waiting for their teacher's approval though he was quite use to this ill behavior, with hasty steps they all rush out while he kept his eyes still glue on to both kids as they too step out for lunch. The dark skin boy look over to his friend as she munch on a homemade salad.
.
-"I don't know how you can eat that stuff everyday, your not a rabbit are you?" said Tucker in an almost serious tone.
.
His friend reply by simply showing her middle finger while she kept enjoying her meal, in a nearby table Sam could see some cheerleaders also enjoying their meals as well as some more who were practicing their routines.
.
The school day finally came to an end, Jazz as expected remain for a while longer to finish some extra assignments she was task with, through out this couple of months she had amnesia the redhead came to realize how nice it was to a have minimal attention towards herself that way she could focus on her two passion, studying and Danny though unfortunately now she had became the center of uncalled attention and of some cruel gossip, after finishing her additional work the elder Fenton walk down the hallway as she came to notice that almost all the students had left with the exception of those in clubs, before leaving the school grounds she opted for a quick trip to the girls lavatory, after a few minutes she randomly step into one of the stalls so she could do her needs, soon Jazz heard the bathroom door open follow by soft footsteps.
.
-"You know that redhead girl from my class, she got straight A again on all subjects, maybe i should ask her to tutor me"- said a random girl to another as she explain how her grades had been lowering, both voices sounded awfully familiar to Jazz though she wasn't sure if they were talking about her even if she was the only redhead in her class, she was sure she wasn't the only in the school.
.
-"No i don't recommend you do that, i heard she been sleeping with her teacher and even the football team, i think Dash and Kwan were charging a fee to the other players so they could have a turn with her, that's why her brother beat up them"- responded another nameless girl.
.
The redhead who was in the toilet behind them could heard every cruel word that was been spoken just a few steps away from her, though as cruel and tasteless as this conversation was the girl cautiously stood up and came closer to the door.
.
-"Brother? I don't have a brother"- thought Jazz considering that maybe they were indeed talking about someone else as she brought her eye to peek at who was trash talking, as cliche as it may be the two girls happen to be cheerleaders, a blonde and a brunet.
.
-"I don't think that's true, i mean Jazz seems like a nice girl, hard working and all, she's always doing extra assignments and stuff"- the brunet said to her friend who only laugh loud and rude as she could while pulling out a cigar, the redhead now knew it was about her.
.
-"Nah, she's a total slut, i bet she been fucking with all her teachers to get those high grades, besides she doesn't even look smart believe me i know a slut when i see one"- reply the blonde with childish giggling while lighting her smoke.
.
-"Still her brother must be some kind of monster to have beaten up those jocks all on his own"- continue the blonde hair girl as she saw her friend pick her make up kit and finish fixing her hair while she softly warn her to be careful with what she's saying.
.
-"or what? What's that slut gonna do? Blow me? Besides it not me who started saying all these stuff, i'm just saying what i heard"- reply the smoking girl arrogantly as her friend made her way to the door.
.
A few steps away from exiting the bathroom, the brunet stop and turn around to see her cheerleader friend, -"your a hypocrite Amanda, i think your forgetting that it was YOU who was caught doing it with the coach in the storage, you should be thankful that mister Lancer stood up for you otherwise you would have been kick out"- reproach the brunet cheerleader as she slam the door on her way out.
.
Begrudging her friend the blonde continue smoking while she started to apply her makeup, all of the sudden almost like in a horror movie she saw in the reflecting mirror how the bathroom cubicle door behind her open slowly with a creaking sound revealing a girl whose red hair shine like fire, her soft blue eyes were almost like that of a serial killer.
.
Unable to move from her spot the blonde girl just stare in silence into the mirror, each step Jazz took was breathtaking, all too soon the redhead was standing behind the cheerleader, slowly placing her right hand on the shaking girls left shoulder with her other hand Jazz took away the cigar, letting it fall on the ground without changing pace Jasmine move the blonde girl in order to have her in front.
.
-"please i'm sorry, i was just..."- the girl pleading was stop as Jazz put her finger on the cheerleaders lips making her cut her sentence off short follow by a low "shhh", never before had Amanda been so afraid for her well being, even though the girl always spoke garbage of others she never once had to answer for it, until now that is, it was already way after classes so no one would came to the bathroom, most teacher had already left, to make things even worse they were in farthermost lavatories.
.
At this point the blonde cheerleader knew things weren't going to end well, after all she had spoken too much trash and her adversary wasn't in the mood to heard apologies, Amanda manage to confirm this when Jazz took hold of her blouse and saw her pull back her right fist, without doubt the red hair delivery a mighty punch at the cheerleader, straight in the nose as hard as she could, Jazz saw her trash talker hit the floor with her full back, it was the very first time in Amanda's entire life that someone punch her not even her parent had ever physically punish her, with tears in her eyes Amanda took hold of her now bleeding nose as she saw Jazz walk up to her with a menacing steps, fill with fear the blonde tried to crawl away from this madden girl but as she foolishly pass next to her, the redhead grab the teen by her long blonde hair mercilessly tossing her against the wall and soon to fall on the cold floor a second time.
.
The blonde girl quickly stood up when she saw her redhead adversary walking up to her once more, as soon as the girl was close enough she almost instinctively slap Jazz across the face, something she immediately regret for she was punch a second time nearly knocking her out, losing all strength the cheerleader fell to her knees, using both hand Jazz lifted her foul mouthed punching bag forcing her back on her feet.
.
-"Listen, now that the mandatory beating took place, i'm going to ask you just two question, your going to answer those question and if you don't answer them in a satisfactory way, we're going to repeat the initial process, do i make myself clear"- threaten Jazz with a low tone voice while Amanda nodded in terror now holding her bleeding nose and broken lips, as she was trying her best to not break down crying.
.
Jazz hold tightly to the blonde teen hairs -"Who's been spreading so much trash talk about me?"- without wasting a mere second Amanda immediately answer.
.
-"It was a junior, her name's Paulina... Paulina Sanchez, she's the one that's been telling everyone your doing... that"- the beaten girl was careful in her last word fearing another beating as she ratted out her favorite junior.
.
-"let me guess, is she a pretty tan girl with long black hair always in company of her blonde hair pet?"- reply the angry red hair girl mentally recalling the recent glaring she was getting by some cheerleaders, Amanda could only nodded in agreement as the bleeding finally came to a stop.
.
Jazz let go of the girls hair letting her knees hit the ground, Jazz crouch down towards the blondie -"last question and you can go,"- Amanda couldn't help but look fearful as she awaited for the question that will let her go.
.
-"You said something about a brother yet i'm an only child who were you talking about?"- Amanda saw how serious the redhead was with this question, her face was hard and unflinching.
.
-"Damn Paulina you even made up the whole brother thing"- thought the girl as she was been stare down, her nose hurt so much it even pain her to breath, with her broken lips the cheerleader tried to answer.
.
With a trembling voice the girl did her best to answer, -"Paulina said it was your brother who beat up her boyfriend all because of the prosti..."- Amanda quickly cover mouth without finishing her sentence, Jazz look at her with anger as the blonde girl began to shake uncontrollably, never before she had been in such a situation where every word could signified a beating.
.
-"prostitution you say?" Suddenly said Jazz to Amanda making her cry in her spot.
.
-"Please i don't know who started that rumor, it just appear out of nowhere, please don't hurt me"- begged the blonde cheerleader. Jazz was boiling with rage, this new found feeling was so unwelcome and uncommon on her yet the words just flow right out of her mouth.
.
-"I bust my head everyday to get good grades, i work like a slave for those grades, yet you bitches are spouting garbage, saying to everyone that i'm opening my legs for those grades when all you do is jump around and shake you asses like bitches in heat for a bunch of horn-dogs!"- yell in accusation towards the terrified girl as she jerk her blonde hair, Amanda scream and cried begging the redhead to stop, which surprisingly she did.
.
-"The hell am i doing, i'm not like this, i don't do this kind of stuff"- thought the girl as she let go of the sobbing cheerleader.
.
Jazz look at the mess this once cute girl was turn into thanks to her, with a heavy heart the redhead was bombarded with regret, embarrassment, shame, how could she have done this, before she could apologize the door was suddenly burst wide open, Amanda's eyes open wide as her fat hero mister Lancer walk in gallantly.
.
-"Chicken soup for the soul! what's going in here!"- yell out the overweight teacher as he rush towards the crying cheerleader, the girl was quick to point fingers yet the moment he turn to see the aggressor he was beyond surprise to see it was none other than Jazz Fenton.
.
-"I certainly didn't expect this from you youngster"- said the man in an accusing tone as he was reminded of the dreaded situation he was going through thanks to her younger brother and his "father". Before he could do or say anything else the man came up with an idea.
.
-"There's no way i can use this to gain leverage with the mayor or Danny but maybe if i help her out she can put a good word for me with those two and i'll be on the safe side again, thankfully the victim is Amanda and she owes me big time since i help out with the whole coach thing"- the man thought sinisterly.
.
Jazz was drench in cold sweat it was the first time she had done something like, she was sure that even before her accident and memory lost she had never done something relatively close to this.
.
-"Oh my god, i'm gonna get expel... maybe i can ask Danny to convince his dad to help me out, NO! i can't do that even if i'm the victim there's no way i can't get Danny involve, he already got enough trouble as it is, i got myself into this so i'll get myself out"- thought the girl in terror as she tried to control her trembling self, wishing she would have just stay in toilet and let Amanda walk away rather than going all macho mod on her.
.
The fat old teacher look at both girls who were a mess each, Amanda cry and sob while Jazz was clearly shock as she didn't stop shaking in her spot, she was even hugging tightly to her arms.
.
-"Miss Fenton could you please wait outside for a moment"- order mister Lancer, the girl obey the instruction and step out while he remain indoors with the sobbing girl.
.
-"I know this is bad but could you please keep this between us"- said the fat bold teacher making Amanda reply with a disbelieving "what", Lancer look straight at her.
.
-"Think about Amanda if this were to ever come out, how long do you think it would take for your little romance with the coach to follow up? Everyone would know, your parents and friends, not only would you be expel but completely and utterly humiliated"- continue Lancer trying his best to hid his grin as he convince the girl to keep quiet.
.
Amanda realize he was right, there was just no way she could tell, not without having her fall down the gutter as well, it would be nearly impossible to convince anyone that the model student Jasmine was the first to punch.
.
-"ok"- said the girl with a submissive voice as she came to accept her defeat, slowly she stood up and walk out the door, on the other side she saw Jazz who took notice of her but said no words as they just look at each other for a moment before Amanda hastily left.
Lancer follow up soon and explain to Jazz that he talk with the cheerleader and convince her to keep the "disagreement" between them, though the redhead was thankful for this unexpected assistance she also knew it could bring her future trouble, cheerleaders weren't the kind to forgive and forget, she would have to keep an eye on her back for some time. After a brief gratitude chat Jazz left the school ground leaving mister Lancer to remain indoors, from where he stood he could see Amanda in the courtyard hurriedly walking away.
.
-"Paradise lost, what have i done"- said in a whisper to himself, the man had fallen to a new low, he had already put a blind eye for Dash constant bulling and shortly before he even look away for a teacher-student affair, now he could add threatening a student. With heavy steps lancer also went home regretting all his previous and new actions he had finally became the man he had always hated.
.
As dusk came about in a far part of town within an abandoned factory Danny was battling a rather small horde of skeleton ghosts clad in old medieval armor, they lack the ability to fly like their ghost peers yet they could still use ecto-energy rays that came out from their equally ancient swords, with swift moves follow by precise ecto-ray shooting one by one the skeleton warriors were defeated until none was left, taking a moment to breath Danny sat down on a dusty chair from there he could see how his skeleton opponents turn into nothing more than green dust, Danny now Phantom look up into an opening on the roof where he could see the darkening sky and the stars had began to shine.
.
The memories from today's encounter with Vlad were still fresh in his mind even after the slightly hard battle with these bony ghosts, though Danny wasn't really expecting a fancy breakfast at an unnecessarily fancy restaurant even considering the older Halfa character yet to his surprise he was taken to a rather small and humble family diner, their meal consisted of eggs and bacon rather simple but more than stomach filling.
.
-"My dear boy, i hope that little problem at your school was solve?" question the older man as saw his younger companion munching on his meal while nodding his head in agreement.
.
Vlad slowly lean back against the diner chair -"have you consider what will happened if Jazz doesn't recover? I heard of people who go through the same and never recover their memories, after all it's been more than two months and she hasn't even show a bit of recovery, her memories could be forever lost"- continue the man with some semblance of sorrow as he pick up his coffee cup.
.
The young raven hair boy just continue to eat his almost finish meal in an almost robotic fashion -"people say that teen age love never last, if that's true will you stop seeing your parents when you brake up? Will leave your house forever? Will you turn your back on her even if it's for her benefit? Let's suppose all that happens, then you'll have nowhere to go but i will be more than willing to accept you in my house even if it's until things improve"- said Vlad while staring at the boy, the man took a sip of his coffee as he awaited for an answer that wasn't coming anytime soon.
.
With a deep sigh Vlad put his cup on the table while giving a quick glance to the nearly empty diner.
.
-"Even if she does recover it doesn't mean things will get better for the two of you, this little lovers game your dad foolishly came up with, will only severed your healthy sibling relationship"- monologue the silver hair as he saw Danny finish his breakfast. The youngest Fenton look straight into Vlad's eyes.
.
-"And for some reason you won't tell, your going to help me somehow"- finally reply the boy with blue eyes.
Vlad agree with the boy, -"tell me what's gonna happen if she doesn't recover and we don't brake up? Then what? Are you still gonna offer your helping hand"- question Danny with an almost accusing tone still being careful as to not be heard. The older man with silver hair look around as he remain quiet for a moment as he carefully chose his words.
.
-"Well if that happens and you two stay together until your old and wrinkly like me, than i guess there's many ways to help out, i could always adopt you even if it's on paper"- said the man showing his palms in innocence.
.
-"And if you actually want to get married, i have my ways of convincing the judges and even the clergy to perform a legit ceremony after all it's just paperwork"- continue Vlad as he heard a soft "thank you" from Danny, once more the man look around just to be sure no one was within ear shot.
.
-"Tell me tell my little badger, have you seriously consider what this relationship you have means, she's already sixteen, hormones hit girls just as hard as they do with boys, tell me can you actually see yourself kissing her or making love to her"- said Vlad almost in a whisper.
.
Danny nearly choke on his coffee as Vlad mention him the whole sex thing, -"well little badger i'm running late for a meeting"- the older man said as he always knew when was the most proper moment to leave, Danny watch the man pay on his way out yet the teen was left more worried than before, not wasting the diners time he too left and began walking home wondering if he could actually ever come to sleep with Jazz.
.
The boy mentally begrudge himself for having such thoughts about his own sister, -"there's no way i could ever have sex with Jazz it's just plain wrong, i should be thinking in how to help her not in my personal lust"- mentally said the boy to himself. Danny came back from his memory tour as he open his eyes to the dark star fill sky, cursing himself for falling asleep in the middle of a battlefield.
.
-"damn! if there were still more ghosts i would have been an easy prey"- said the boy out loud while taking out his cellphone to see the time, -"it already 08:00 pm, damn it, i was asleep for at least an hour"- Danny hastily flew back home overseeing the bright lights in Amity Park, he could only imagine the happy families within each house, a yearning to go back to his true home besiege the boys heart as he could see from far away Fenton works, the huge neon lights were a little too much of a temptation for the ghost boy had to fight off the urge to go to his old home rather flying to his gloomy new house, soon he glide into his very humble apartment, once in his kitchen the boy took from his fridge a small meal package.
.
-"Another precook dinner i guess"- said the boy missing his mothers cooking.
.
Without warning his phone began to buzz and his ring tone was echoing within the room with a soft "hello" the boy answer the call. -"Hello sweetheart, i just wanted to heard your voice"- Danny immediately knew it was Jazz though her voice did sound a little strange, he quickly ask if she was find.
.
-"Not really, i got into a bad fight with another girl at school and things got out of control but i'm ok. I don't wanna talk about that, do you think we can go out tomorrow, to the movies or something?"- ask the girl almost pleading as she was quick to change the subject, Danny knew his "girlfriend" was in need of cheering up rather than to be explaining herself therefore he was equally quick to answer with "yes of course, anywhere you want!" not wanting to put pressure on her. As they happily chat Danny notice her voice slowly cheer up, after nearly after twenty minutes their casual yet lighthearted conversation came to an end as they both hung up, with a deep sigh.
.
-"Now who was the bitch that hurt you Jazz?"- said the raven hair boy to no one in particular while putting his phone away, anger by the fact that he wasn't anywhere near his beloved "girlfriend" moment of need. As the ghost boy heated his dinner on his barely functioning stove he couldn't shake off the image of her exchanging fist blows and swings with other girl, it just didn't fit her image, the boy walk over to his table with his so called meal, the moment he sat down he couldn't help but feel like a loser, his "girlfriend" was involve in fight even if she didn't say what it was about it was most likely because him, while he was out pretending to be a hero he was nowhere near the one who needed him the most.
.
Before he could even take a single bite of his tasteless meal a large rock broke through his already crack window straight into his plate covering him is smash potato.
.
-"Come on out boy, we got a bone to pick with you"- said a man with a drunken voice, mumbling obscenities towards the one who threw a rock through his window Danny slam open his door as he wipe his face from the splash meal seeing none other than Kwan's dad next to mister Baxter who stood bravely in front a three more men.
.
-"Come down boy so i can kick your puny ass"- continue the man as he took a sip down from a liqueur bottle, Danny look at the five men, all were bulky and somewhat muscly with faces only a mother could love. The raven hair boy stood on the walkway just in front of his door looking down at the men much as if he were seeing a bunch mangy dogs.
.
-"Mister whatever your name is, i strongly suggest you leave while am still in a good mood or else i'll leave in a worse state than that wimp of son of yours" Threaten Danny still piss by the fact that Jazz had a fight and he couldn't protected her, anger by all the truths Vlad had told him.
.
The bulky Asian man threw his bottle towards Danny with all his strength as he shouted -"My name is Li Jie Kwan and i'll carve it on your face!"- yet the thin and frail boy caught the bottle with so much ease it even impress mister Baxter.
.
-"So be it"- reply Danny as he gracefully leap down from the second floor where his apartment is.
.
Because mister Baxter wasn't as drunk as the rest of his crew he was quick to realize something was off with the boy, the men initially just wanted to scare the kid but things were quickly escalating he knew they were about to walk into a world of shit if things kept there current path, even if he didn't dare to say it out loud he did fear the Mayors revenge therefore he tried to dissuade his drunken friends.
.
-"Ok guys i think that's enough, lets go"- unfortunately mister Li refuse to leave as he yell out -"i'm kicking his ass, right here right now,"- the mere thought of his son lying on a hospital bed with his broken knee was enough to fuel his rage and blind him of reason.
.
The lack of illumination in the mistreated yard made the boys frail figure turn into a dark silhouette, thanks to the only light bulb on the second floor, the men look at Danny's eyes and how they glow an eerie green.
.
-"You had your chance, so who wants the first turn with me?" said the boy with a sweet almost erotic voice as he slightly tilted his head to the side, even though Kwan's father was the most angry in the group he wasn't the first to strike, this privilege was given to another man, a balding fat guy ran up behind Danny with a large metal bat without him noticing. With a quick swing the man tried to connect a blow to the teenagers head, yet Danny was even quicker to answer to the attack for he stop the incoming bat swing with no more than his bare hand,
.
-"How naughty, wanting to take for behind without telling me"- taunted the black hair boy as he use a sentence from one of the many porn comic he had began reading of late.
.
The fat man tried fruitlessly to move his bat away from Danny's grip yet he couldn't move it a single inch, -"there's no way he's this strong, it's not possible"- thought the man while wondering if the kid was dope with something though before he could answer his own question he saw a fist coming to his face.
.
Danny beat his first opponent with a knock-out, the rest of the crew took this as a cue to charge against him, all with the exception of mister Baxter for he remain in his place, unsure if it was cowardice or common sense what held him behind, the man watch how his thuggish friends were been beaten to a pulp even though Danny had no idea of martial arts thanks to his unnatural strength and inhuman agility he could easily fool an expert, one by one they all fell on the ground like many enemies before.
.
Mister Li Jie was surprise to see his two wing-men lying on the floor struggling to get up, with a quick glance he saw his blonde friend motioning his sides almost as if saying "lets go."
.
Li Jie was finally starting to sober up but even so hewasn't backing away instead he took off his leather jacket and shirt, despite having a small beer-belly the man was quite well-built, with a loud yell he charge against Danny quickly throwing fast punches and kicks, the man was fast but the ghost boy was even faster as he dodge every strike with fair ease unfortunately he wasn't train for he fell to a simple trick, Li Jie fool the kid making him think he was about kick with that Danny change his position in order to dodge the incoming kick but by doing so he was left expose to the Asian man who quickly connected a powerful punch onto Danny's face. A loud crack was heard as the large man fist hit the boys face.
.
-"Goddamn it" whimper mister Li as he pull back his large hand, -"it's like hitting a brick wall"- thought the man taking notice that the young boy was hardly move by his best punch,
.
With a soft growl Danny reply to the punch with his very own, the boy hit the man in the stomach so hard he fell to his knees retching, soon after the ghost boy softly push him down with his feet.
.
The last remaining man look stun in his spot at the small boy as he walk over Kwan's father, the man knew he was in serious trouble, Baxter wonder if his son felt this same uneasiness when he fought this teen, the kid wasn't a normal boy that was a certain truth all five men found out the very hard way, the blonde hair man lock eyes with Danny as he slowly walk towards him with a small almost unnoticeable grin. Baxter lifted his fist into a combat stance but he was unable to move. The door behind the raven hair boy with glowing green eyes slowly open with a loud creak, from within came out a young man in his early twenties.
.
-"ok fellas you better leave that kid alone, i just call the cops"- tried to threaten with a shaken and crack voice.
.
To his surprise he saw four guys already on the floor trying to get up, Danny turn his head to see this wannabe hero of a neighbor, the man wore a checkers shirt, beige shorts, he even sport a horrible haircut, the poor man was buck tooth with large freckles and carry huge thick glasses, the man wield a fake light saber in his hand for "protection" in other words he was the personification of nerd.
.
Baxter was thankful to this nerdy guy who came out to stop them, he knew beating this kid was at the moment impossible for him, -"we were just leaving"- said the blonde man as he rush over to help his friends get up, the nerd and the geek both look how the four defeated men hastily made their way to a pick-up truck, Baxter turn to see Danny.
.
-"Just what the hell are you?"- the man question as he remain in his place actually awaiting for an answer, the black hair teen with a smile said "i'm complicated."
.
With that all brutes left humiliated and shamed, Danny thank his nerdy new friend as he kindly ask him to call off the police, the freckle man nodded in agreement as he watch Danny walk back to his apartment, in complete silence the boy pick up his leftover dinner along with the shatter glass soon blue and red light were passing through his broken window.
.
With prying eyes Danny step outside on his walkway to witness his nerdy neighbor telling the police, -"there was a bunch hoodlums... i freak out and call you guys"- the ghost boy heard his neighbor say to the police, not wanting to hear anymore Danny walk back inside locking his door behind him, no longer hungry he opted into climbing into his bed, looking up to the empty ceiling the boy said "good night Jazz... i love you."
.
Far and deep into the depths of the Ghost Zone in an old castle cover by green mist was a long hair man sitting on a throne looking to a ghostly frame image of a beautiful redhead.
.
-"Prince Aragon, i don't bethink this is a valorous idea, the lady is but a human"- said a green skin friar to his lord and master as both contemplated at an energy base picture of Jazz Fenton.
.
-"Well i believeth t is a valorous idea, the lady is beyond p'rfect"- said the prince as he got up and gracefully walk over to his balcony leaving his friar and adviser behind.
.
-"Broth'r i knoweth t is not mine own lodging to questioneth thee but i begeth thee, prithee reconsid'r"- pleaded princess Dorathea only to be slap in face by her cruel brother as he order her to leave, the green princess hastily left yet her eyes were not fill with tears but with with anger.
.
Prince Aragon look upon the vast emptiness of the Ghost Zone -"lief we shalt meeteth mine own quite quaint mistress with fi'ry hair."-
