Chapter Five: The Hunt

.

One more day had come into Jasmine life as the girl laid on her soft bed while she look over to her window as she hug her teddy bear, her eyes were dark and baggy she barely had wink of sleep as the beams of a rising sun made their way into her room welcoming a bright new day.

.

-"Why did i do all that to her, i'm such an idiot"- whisper the redhead perhaps for the thousand time since the whole incident at the girls bathroom took place, the redhead roll over on her bed as she press her forehead tightly.

.

-"Why did i told Danny i had a fight... i guess it would have been worse if he found out some other way"- thought Jazz as she got up from the comfort of her bed.

.

The young Fenton had no idea of how to deal with this mess, due to her amnesia she wasn't sure if she had any friends or at least some close acquaintances she could ask for advice, to make things worse she still felt somewhat uneasy around her parents despite this two months yet with Danny things flow naturally, everything felt right as if they were bond by life it self.

.

With soft steps Jasmine walk over to her dresser and slowly slip into her blue jeans and black blouse as she made her way to the bathroom, while she brush her teeth an idea came to mind -"we're not precisely friends but Sam does seem like a tough girl and she's in good terms with my sweetheart, perhaps i could ask her for advice before talking about it with Danny"- mentally debated the girl as she finish brushing her teeth and started combing her long red hair.

.

Down in the kitchen Maddie happily made breakfast for her husband and daughter, these last two months were specially hard for the older lady who miss her son ever so dearly since lately she was far to busy to see him even so she was none the wiser about all the mess her kids were actually in, Maddie turn to see her husband who for once was quietly reading the newspaper, with a smile in her mouth she serve Jack a trio of eggs with an unhealthy amount of bacon, Jazz walk in at that very moment both her parents greeted with a "good morning" yet they also took notice of her baggy eyes as they couldn't help asking about it.

.

-"Good morning, couldn't get much sleep last night"- reply the girl with a loud yawn as she sat down at the breakfast table, the young redhead look over at her mother who was fixing her meal then slowly swap her eyes towards her father who was already eating in a quite ungracious manner.

.

-"Its been two months already and i still can't remember anything and to make things worse i can't feel at home even my parents still feel like strangers... i really need to recover"- thought the girl pessimistically as she wonder if she would ever be able to remember who she was and regain her place within her family. As the household ate breakfast Jazz couldn't avoid thinking if her mother had tested her in someway at some point in these few months.

.

-"What if she serve me something i don't like and i still ate with no problem or dress unlike my previous self"- thought Jasmine with slight fear in her heart for she had basically force herself to dress like in some pictures she's seen around the house but rarely how she actually like.

.

Maddie notice the sadness in her daughter's eyes, -"you ok honey"- ask the older female Fenton to her daughter who reply with "i'm find, it's the lack of sleep", even so Maddie couldn't shrug away the concern in her child as she follow with another question.

.

-"Do you have any plans for today?"- ask the woman once more in hopes she would have at least the evening free, the mother wanted to spend some quality time her daughter yet the girl answer back with, "sorry mom, Danny and i got plans for the afternoon and i was hoping to see Sam before that."

.

Maddie blink a couple of times for she wonder when did Jazz made friends with Danny's friends, it trouble her to think either Sam or Tucker would accidentally tell her the truth, though before she could say anything Jack bark in asking if Danny was doing well since he got suspended from school, of course Jack already knew how his boy was doing yet he figure it would be better if he got an answer from the "girlfriend". Jazz look at her father with a puzzle stare.

.

-"Why does he want to know? he probably thinks Danny is a bad influence"- thought the girl with fear as she answer with "he's doing just find... well a little down due to the whole fight thing."

.

Jack smile and reply with his loud voice "well that's only natural", nevertheless more than reassuring the girl it made her feel like Danny had step in the wrong side of her father after all dads have always been overprotective of their daughters specially when it comes to boyfriends, things would be even worse if they found out that she had a fight with another girl at school.

.

After breakfast Jazz step out the house unfortunately she spend everyday less time there and more in the library, on her way through the door she was stop by Maddie who held her by the shoulder -"sorry i startle you honey, here you forgot this"- said the older woman.

.

Maddie gave the redhead over two hundred in cash follow by a kiss on the forehead, the young Fenton look over to her mother with a concerned look as she saw her mother walk back inside, more than lucky she felt like a leach for always getting such a generous allowance.

.

-"Is she trying to buy me?"- thought the girl for she had not forgotten said money.

.

She just didn't want to take, ever since she started going to school her mother gave a similar amount almost on daily basis Jazz knew her parents had no money problems if they could afford such a huge yet strange laboratory and even an ops center on the roof, one she still refuse to go into, most of the family income came from selling anti-ghost contraptions and the such even though she had heard of ghost attacks on the news she had never witness one herself, even the phone she had in her hand was new since she couldn't remember the access code for her previous one, though curiously her father was quick to take it away.

.

Jasmine shook off the strange ideas as she dial her sweethearts number after a few brief moments a "hello" come from the device, that sweet voice always melted Jazz's heart.

.

-"Good morning honey"- said the redhead with the cutest voice she could muster, the two love birds chatted for what seem like hours yet it was only a few minutes, they agree to meet at 04:00 to see the movie and soon after have a quick dinner.

.

-"So Danny about your friend Sam... think i can get her number... you know just to have a friendly girl talk"- said Jazz as Danny remain silent for a moment.

.

-"Sure"- reply the boy as he handed Sam's phone number, it was no secret that Jazz was slightly possessive but the ghost boy consider that to be normal since she was brain bleach.

.

As Danny hung up the phone he stare to the broken window, "better clean this mess up", said the boy as he took hold of a broom, the night before had been quite the mess, a ghost fight follow by a human fight though both won ever so easily it still bother the teen to be making enemies in both fronts. Danny end up putting a large piece of cardboard box in place of a window, which would serve as a temporary repair, that until his landlord could do a proper fixing, as soon as the boy finish with the "repairs" his door knock.

.

-"It better not be Vlad, i'm not in the mood for any of his lectures"- thought the teen as he slam open the door only to see his nerdy neighbor shock by the over dramatic welcome.

.

The ghost boy felt embarrass for the action he took, though his nerdy new friend smile "don't worry you probably thought it was those jerks from last night" said the young freckled man as he accommodate his glasses.

.

-"I just wanted to tell you that i talk with the cops last night and convince them that it was just a bunch of drunks loitering around and i overreacted" continue the young lad as he giggle, Danny took notice that he was playing with his fingers as he diverted his gaze to the sides.

.

-"Well i help you out by calling the cops... and then by your petition to call them off... so can i ask you for ... a ... favor"- said and ask the freckled neighbor with so much nervousness and heavy breathing it borderline with insanely creepy, Danny stare at this young man as he motion a slight hand gesture follow by a "ok."

.

With a loud sigh of relieve the man said -"thank goodness, well there's this anime event coming up next week and i would really appreciated it if you could dress up as Danny Phantom, he's been super popular ever since his fight with the ghost robot a few months ago, hell i'm even drawing a comic about him"- said the man ever so effusively.

.

The ghost boy went pale as he heard his neighbor ask him to dress up as the town's hero, for a moment the boy wonder if his alter ego was at stake, but then again Danny realize that it was like hiding in plain sight after all no one had ever seen him up close therefore if he dress in a cheap costume he could actually discourage any idea that he's the real Phantom. After a brief silence the ghost boy agree to his neighbors not so odd petition.

.

The man actually jump a couple of times as yell out "this is great! i'll finish up the costume, swing by my apartment tomorrow to check details"- continue the freckle man as he turn around hastily walking away.

.

-"By the way my name's Chester"- yell out the thin man as he rush down the stairs, Danny was left perplex as he watch Chester walk straight into his apartment.

.

-"Wow i actually thought he would ask me for something kinky... god i gotta stop reading those sick comics"-, said the raven hair boy under his breath while shutting his door.

.

Danny walk over to his old and dusty couch as he lay down on it while he wonder what movie he and Jazz should watch, ever since she lost all her memories the girl had a very hard time deciphering what her previous tastes and likes were, the boy knew more or less what she was suppose to like and therefore enjoy.

.

-"Perhaps an action movie, she never was one for romantic flicks"- though the teenager while he laid on the couch, upon finally relaxing he once more heard the door knock.

.

-"Did he forget something?"- wonder the boy in thoughts with some amusement as he open his door one more time though much slower than before.

.

Yet his amusement quickly die down as he stare up to a big bulky man with short blonde hair, -"...morning kid"- said mister Baxter as the ghost boy look at the man without a single word yet his eyes were sharp like a knife, it was clear for the blonde man that he wasn't even close to a threat for the boy, there wasn't even an ounce of fear in sight.

.

-"Listen kid i uh... i wanted to apologize for what happened last night, you do understand that my friends were drunk and well things got out of hand"- continue mister Baxter as he avoided looking at the kid.

.

-" What a dump... if he's actually the mayors kids why does he live in this shit hole"- wonder the man as he cautiously look inside.

.

-"Oh i get it now, his must the son of a lover or a one night stand,"- continue the blonde man as he question himself if he could use this to gain some sort leverage against Vlad.

.

Danny sigh loudly -"ok lets forget this mess, i won't tell my dad if you, your friends and Dash stay away from me and my friends, in other words keep your dogs on a leash, you do that and we won't have anymore problems"- basically threaten the boy.

.

Mister Baxter inner macho came up as he couldn't help but ask -"and if i can't keep them on a leash, what then?"- the ghost boy look at him with a smirk.

.

He came up close and gently reply -"then me and my daddy will rain hell on you", the blonde man nodded in agreement as he turn around and slowly walk away leaving the teenager behind, Danny wonder if his message got through to the man, as he once again he shut his door.

.

While Danny got ready for his date with Jazz, on the other side of town Sam was walking towards a cafe where her love rival was awaiting, -"how strange for her to call me over, i hope she's not looking for a fight, cause i'm not in the mood for any of her incestuous crap"- thought the gothic girl as the cafe came into sight.

.

With a deep sigh she walk inside, it was the first time she had ever been to such a place, normally she avoided any cute and girlish establishment. Once inside the shop she glance over the place, the bright pastel colors were a nauseating sight for the goth girl who stood out like a sore thumb, soon she spotted the beautiful redhead who was already sipping down on some coffee even though it been almost midday, while gracefully looking out the window deep in thought.

.

-"Why does she have to look so melodramatic all the time"- question the black hair girl as she made her way towards Jazz.

.

-"Hi..."- said Sam in an almost bore tone as she took a sit in front of the redhead who reply with a "good morning", the gothic had a dislike for the formalities Jasmine had towards her.

.

Both girls remain in an awkward silence for a few brief minutes, -"so... what do you need from me"- said Sam breaking the silence.

.

Though Jazz was the one to call for her in the first place she was now having certain doubts about telling the goth about her personal problem, after a brief moment of waiting Jazz lifted her head towards the black hair girl.

.

-"I did something really stupid, and i need of your advice"- answer the redhead girl while she avoided Sam's gaze, the goth knew that Jazz had no one aside from Danny at school, no friends or acquaintanceship of any kind even so she did always manage just find on her own.

.

-"She must be at the end of the rope to have came for my help"- thought Sam as she look at the red hair girl who was now looking at her nearly empty coffee mug.

.

-"Why me and not Danny?"- question the black hair girl.

.

-"I can't involve him just yet"- answer the red hair girl as she wave for a waitress and order an ice coffee for herself and for Sam.

.

Though the gothic gal wasn't one for coffee she couldn't refuse out of good manners, therefore she drank the beverage as she soon heard her love rival tell her about the mess she was in, about how she beat up the cheerleader and even told her about mister Lancer stepping in for her.

.

-"That fat slob would do anything to keep his position in school but what did he do to make that girl keep quiet?"- thought Sam as she voice her question, it was no secret that Lancer had a rather large soft spot for the football team and of course the cheerleaders but having step on the wrong side of Mayor Vlad may had him change his mind.

.

Unfortunately Jazz didn't know either, all she knew was that Lancer "spoke" with the cheerleader, -"to all this, who's this girl you fought"- ask the goth girl as she finish her coffee.

.

Once the name Amanda came into the conversation Sam had an idea of who she was messing with, -"that girl is nothing but trouble, i heard rumors about her, nothing good" continue Sam as she follow with.

.

-"I heard she was sleeping with the football coach and stuff like that... maybe you should avoid getting near her, for your own safety, i think she's part of a gang," Jazz agreed completely with Sam.

.

Thought she did made it clear she wasn't going to hid from her or any of the sort, the red hair girl did feel much more relieve after talking with Sam about the most obvious course of action, therefore after a few more minutes the girls began talking about more blithe topics as they finally left Amanda in the past, though soon their table was fill with laughter and many more ice coffee drinks.

.

-"Hard to believe that i would be enjoying an outing with another girl like this"- thought the goth as she look at her love rival now more in the light of friend. Yet neither of them could feel the evil eyes that observe them hidden from within the shadows of an alleyway despite it been still a shiny morning.

.

-"Inf'rme prince Aragon, yond i has't locat'd the fi'ry mistress"- said a long bearded man dress in an old, dirty and torn green hood, though his attire seem like that of a street bum he had a rather imposing size, the huge man had order this to a much smaller figure who wore a newer and cleaner red hood, without words this thin apparition bow down as it disappear into the shadows.

.

An hour pass nearly without the girls noticing but thankfully the strong coffee reminded them that too much was indeed too much, Jazz left her younger companion as both had other matters to attend to.

.

-"Sorry Sam i got to see Danny in a short while, i hope we can talk again, this has been fun"- said Jazz without any hidden resentment or uncalled jealousy though it came as a rather pleasant surprise for both girls to speak at each other in such a friendly manner.

.

-"that's find, enjoy your date with Danny"- reply Sam slightly teasing the older girl as she wave a good bye to her blushing new friend.

.

With soft steps Jazz left the cafe behind her as Sam walk in the opposite direction, but in the high buildings the mysterious hooded man follow the redhead girl with devious eyes, been careful as to not been seen by anyone.

.

-"Wh're art thee going dram bird"- said the strange man as he jump from one rooftop to another.

.

Far away within the shopping mall the raven hair boy gaze over the movie posters still trying to decide what to see from a large number of films been display, soon he was distracted the ring tone of his cell phone, Danny notice it was a text from his dear friend Sam that read.

.

-"Be nice to her, she had a rough day yesterday"- though for a minute Danny was puzzle, he was quick to figure out the message.

.

-"I guess that was the girl talk Jazz wanted to have"- said the ghost boy softly as he put away his phone and began choosing all over again.

.

When he finally came to find a movie that he was sure Jazz would enjoy a cold shiver crawl up his spine, he's breath was beyond cold, it was freezing, -"a ghost... no this is different... it feels more... Dangerous"- said the ghost boy as he quickly turn around but all he could see were joyous shoppers and movie goers.

.

-"The hell was that"- continue the boy as the horrid sensation vanish away, from the main gate he could see his beloved sister walking in, with overhasty steps the redhead rush towards her young "boyfriend", she greeted him with a hug and soft kiss.

.

-"I hope am not late, sweetheart"- said the girl still holding on to dear Danny as he nodded in disagreement.

.

-"I'll go buy the tickets sweety"- reply the boy as he kiss his sister's hand soon to rush over to the ticket booth.

.

-"Whoa, why did i do that? that wasn't..."- his thoughts were cut short as once again the cold shiver embrace him, he knew someone was watching him with evil intent. Danny slow his hasty steps while he search for the ghost that was lurking around, even under the cold gaze of his hidden hunter he still made his way towards the ticket booth.

.

-"Hi, two tickets for the Hard and Furious 8"- said the boy as he kept swapping his eyes all over the place still unable to located the specter, all around he could see emos, rockers, people with multicolor hair.

.

-"Damn i never notice how many people actually look like ghosts around here"- continue the boy in thoughts as he pay for his tickets with the hope that nothing would ruin this day. Though Danny had suspicions he never thought of looking over the food area, there he would have seen a filthy and dirty bum whose mere presence annoyed the nearby shoppers.

.

-"How int'resting but who is't is yond lad? and wherefore doest that gent dareth walketh with the fi'ry mistress, that gent doest not seemeth n'rmal though, most wondrous to keepeth an eye on both"- whisper the hooded man as he drank a cold soda.

.

-"Rath'r tasty, this bev'rage" continue the specter somewhat surprise by the flavor so unique as he began to follow the young couple into the cinema, with his invisibility technique the hooded ghost glide in without calling any attention.

.

High above almost touching the ceiling this vagabond ghost watch with prying eyes at the couple who hold hand, it enrage the undead man when Jazz laid her head over Danny's shoulder so she could better enjoy the movie, the foul ghost had the idea of who Jazz belong to yet there she was happily embrace by another man, despite been task with the mission of following and observing the girl, the spy was quickly drawn to the movie, the fast car chases and unbelievable action scenes capture his eyes more so than his given task.

.

-"How is something liketh this coequal possible? what s'rc'ry doth those gents employeth?"- said the ghost as he found himself unable to remove his eyes from the huge screen, all too soon the movie came to end, all within the cinema started to make their way to the outside yet the hooded ghost remain in his aerial spot.

.

-"Yond wast beyond most wondrous"- said the ghost in complete and utter amazement as he couldn't believe what he just saw.

.

The two love birds were quick to exit and to head to a nearby diner for their meal as they fancy for a more homelike dinner rather than the prepackage ones they would find in the mall, -"that was great, specially that part were Loretto..." the red hair girl said as she was unexpectedly excited about the movie something that Danny found more than pleasing for they talk about it for as long as two whole hours.

.

-"How can i beest so foolish? to alloweth those folk wend just liketh yond"- curse the ghost as he regret ever so dearly having stay for a second show while overflying the diner where the kids were spending a most enjoyable evening.

.

Though the ghost boy was indeed having a great time he couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling he had prior to entering the cinema, even in the company of Jazz he couldn't relax for he kept wondering if he was about to be attack at any moment which made him even more uneasy, with worried eyes the young boy scan the diner for any unwanted problems but all seem a little too normal, the waitress serving some random customers, people either eating or paying, some love birds like themselves enjoying their dates.

.

From his high place in the sky the stalking ghost gave up his search as he sat down on the edge of a nearby building overseeing the diner, thinking of the many excuses he might use on his prince, but lady luck happened to be on his side that night, for only a few minutes later he witness both Danny and Jazz stepping out of the family restaurant, with their bellies full as they casually talk their way in direction to the park.

.

With a deep and long sigh of relieve the creature recommence his tailing, his un-beating heart was thankful for this moment of sheer luck, soon the stalker was caught up by a trio of skeleton warriors riding on equally skeletal dragons, the creature who seem to be command explain how their prince wanted the fiery lady brought to him as soon as possible and of course with out any harm, the hooded bum devilish smile as he said "und'rstood."

.

The stalker knew it would be wise to wait for her to be alone therefore he kept on following until it was fully dark as the prince henchmen spread out, though it caught the ghost by surprise at how his prince love interest hold hands and even kiss with this younger man, though she soon left the young one behind while waving a goodbye.

.

-"T doest not matt'r. the lady belongs to the prince anon"- said the specter as he kept his eyes on the boy who remain frozen in his spot, softly gliding in his invisible form this specter flooded next to the raven hair boy with a smirk he came to realize he was no more than a kid.

.

-"Not coequal a dare"- continue the invisible vagrant as he hastily left in pursued of Jazz, failing to see Danny's cold breath the very same that always warned him of a nearby ghosts or better yet an enemy.

.

Quickly looking around as he once more felt the horrifying feeling of danger, -"what the hell is that? It doesn't feel like a normal ghost"- said the boy as he hastily ran into a nearby alleyway to transform into his alter ego Danny Phantom, with a mighty leap he took unto the skies of Amity Park, though the feeling of dread was gone by now he wasn't in the mood of taking any risk.

.

-"Maybe i'm just exaggerating but i'll make sure she makes it home ok"- concluded the boy as he too hurried after Jazz.

.

Unknowing of the danger that follow her the redhead walk with happy steps back home though she regret not been able to spend more time with her boyfriend, though mostly because her parents insisted on her been home before 09:00pm.

.

-"They worry too much but i can't blame them for it... but a curfew is a little too much"- said the girl to herself as she cross her arms while thinking of a way to either extent or better yet to eliminate the curfew that was impose on her.

.

Though she did wonder if she had this time limit before the accident, having a little bit of time left Jazz took a quick detour to the local book store, in this recent month she had devolved a taste for Gothic literature, mostly influence by Sam even if she didn't want to accept it as such, after many minutes of looking over the many books the girl finally came to find something she would enjoy reading.

.

-"Maybe i can discuss these books with Sam... kinda understand why Danny is friends with her, sorry Sam but i have no intention of sharing him with anyone, not even you"- said Jazz under her breath as she stare at her new acquisition.

.

-"But i hope we can be friends"- continue the redhead as she made her way to cashier. With a pair of new books the teen step out of the store, her smile was long and bright, soon the shop was far behind.

.

Under the dark embrace of the night Jazz fail to see a pair of hands coming from behind her, with mighty force the redhead was held by the neck in a tight grip as she was been drag into a dead end alley, in front of her was a pretty blonde girl in a very expensive dress.

.

-"You think you can just beat me up and all is forgotten bitch!"- said the blond girl as she slap Jazz on the face.

.

-"That fat slob isn't her to help you now"- continue the fancy dress gal, the red hair was quick to realize who stood before her, it was none other than Amanda, behind the cheerleader was a leather jacket wearing teen with a mean expression on his already hard face, though she couldn't tell who held her she knew it was a big man.

.

Her breathing was heavy, she was frighten there was no doubt to it, though brave Jazz did beg for Danny to came to her aid under her breath, Amanda glance over to the leather jacket teen as she motion with her head towards their little prey, Jazz heart nearly stop as she saw the teen put on a pair bronze knuckles.

.

-"Say good night straight A bitch,"- said the boy as he step over her brand new books. Jazz heard the blond girl giggle as her bulky friend came closer.

.

-"Goddammit how did i let this happened, how could i let her blackmail me like this?"- thought the bigger man as his grip loosen though not enough to let her go, he could hear Jazz scared breathing as the boy got ready to strike her.

.

-"Listen girl i don't like this anymore than you but you know how things are,"- said the teen as he was to strike Jazz on the face, unable to scream for help the girl look straight at her attacker.

.

-"Oh nay nay nay, i can not alloweth thee to mistreat Prince Aragon's prop'rty"- said the ghost as he took hold of the head of the man who was in turn holding Jazz, the girl was quickly release from the tight grip upon falling on the ground she turn to see what was going on.

.

-"It can't be... coach Michel..." said Jazz as she saw in disbelieve the man that allegedly sleep with Amanda been hold like a simple rag doll.

.

- "What the hell man, lemme go!" Michel beg more than demanded, soon he felt the huge mans hands wrap around his head, the trio watch in horror at how this beast pop the couch's head much like a grape.

.

With the coach now dead the creature move towards Jasmine as he said -"cometh anon issue f'r mine own prince wishes to seeth thee"- Jazz could barely made out what he had said but she still had an idea of what he wanted.

.

-"Why?" question the girl as she crawl away from this demonic undead man, even under his dark hood the boy and girls could see his evil smirk.

.

-"Well, Prince Aragon wishes to marryeth thee mistress of fireth"- said the hooded ghost making Jazz turn pale as white paper, for she understood this phrase as clear as day.

.

-"There's no way i am marring an undead ghost prince, there just no way!"- mentally yell the girl as she kept moving away from the huge man.

.

Jazz look around for anyway to escape but the hood wearing bum was blocking the only exit, -"please tell your kind Prince that i humbly decline his most generous offer, but i am already engaged to someone else, so please"- pleaded the girl as she tried to get up but her knees felt weak, so much they couldn't even hold her.

.

-"Asking thee wast just a f'rmality, thee shall cometh liketh t 'r not. Thee has't nay sayeth in this matt'r"- said the dreaded ghost out loud.

.

The vile creature floated slowly towards her while Amanda actually had piss herself in fear for she couldn't believe what she had was witness, Jazz regretted the fact that she didn't bring any of the anti-ghost gadgets her parents make on daily basis.

.

-"You fucking monster!"- yell out the bulky teenager as he pull out a small pocket knife and rush against the monster who only smirk at the pathetic attempt on his afterlife.

.

Not too far away Danny search from the skies for his beloved sister, -"where did you Jazz"- said the boy almost desperate, for his sister had taken a different route than she normally takes, a moment before he move to search another area he saw a small green blast coming from a nearby alley.

.

-"That was an ecto blast... a ghost attack"- said the boy as he rush towards where the green light had come from, fearing for his beloved sister's well being.

.

Jazz was terrified as the huge ghost pass over the smoking body of the muscle teenager whose daring attack ended all too soon with a simple blast, the huge ghost man glided over to Jazz as he tightly held her by the hand while she scream for help.

.

-"Let me go!"- added the girl to her desperate pleads for help.

.

She did her very best to release herself, though before she could do anymore, a powerful blast hit the monster ghost in the back forcing him to let go of Jazz, with a glare that would have send any man to an early grave the ghost demanded to know who had dare attack him.

.

-"The name's Phantom and perhaps you didn't hear the lady but she said no, so beat it punk"- said the ghost boy as he took a battle stance.

.

Jazz look over at her savior, -"it can't be... Danny? No his hair is white but the face... it's the same"- thought the girl as she consider that fear was making her see things.

.

-"How amusing but thee only did get lucky"- said the vile creature as he immediately attack Phantom with his own ecto-ray.

.

Just by mere inches Phantom dodge the incoming attack, hidden behind the energy ray the ghost vagrant charge against the boy, surprise by the speed of the evil apparition Danny was crush to the ground with a mighty punch follow by a kick that toss him to pile of garbage.

.

-"Remaineth th're wh're belongeth. In the trash"- said the ghost as he turn back towards Jazz who shrug at his evil gaze.

.

Before the stalker could take another step Danny rose from the trash bins at full speed -"you got lucky!"- yell out the ghost boy as he too connected a mighty kick on the vagrants face.

.

Though the years had gain on the old ghost he still held his ground against this younger warrior, his experience made Danny have a hard time just avoiding the strikes, each punch, each kick and every single blast was deadly but even if it was by less than miracle the boy manage to avoid any deadly impacts.

.

-"T's the first timeth i meeteth someone who is't can lasteth this longeth 'gainst me"- said the ghost with cheer and laughter.

.

Danny not only found his way of speech so very odd but the fact that he was enjoying the fight was starting to freak him out. With a quick glance he saw Jazz slowly moving towards the streets.

.

-"Damn, i heard ghost were real but it's the first time i see them"- said the red hair girl as she carefully crawl her way out while shivering.

.

Seeing his terrified beloved escaping, the ghost boy charge against the hooded specter, though he smirk at the pathetic incoming assault he did not expect the boy to leap sideways and less likely to fire an ecto-ray with both hands, the blast was so powerful the ghost was toss into a brick wall, the boy mentally thank mister Kwan for the brief lesson he got from their fight, after all he did learn how to trick an overly confident opponent.

.

Taking the opportunity given to her, Jazz rush out and ran straight to her house even if it was still many blocks away, within seconds the three dragon riders flew down to the battlefield, shooting their energy ray at Phantom.

.

-"F'rget about me and capture h'r" order the large ghost as he crawl out of the debris, Danny watch how this ghost more a demon now remove his already torn hooded clothes, revealing an old rusty armor, he even wore some sort of helmet under the hood.

.

-"Hark Phantom, f'r i knight Lancelot shall teareth thee apart, thee fiend"- threaten the old knight as he unveiled a large green glowing sword.

.

-"All i understood was Lancelot, but i got to stop him before those three freaks catch up to Jazz"- thought the ghost boy as he heard the worse word phrasing ever.

.

-"She went that way!"- yell out Amanda as she pointed towards a small silhouette with bright red hair, with murderous desires Danny glare at the blonde blabbermouth.

Jazz speed up her already fast pace as she curse her red hair for been an easy give-away, before Danny could run to her aid, Lancelot attack him with a mighty sword blow, hardly managing to make an energy shield in time the ghost boy was toss far away crushing him once again on a pile of debris, the dust clouded the young Phantom.

Confident in his victory the old knight began to glide upwards yet from the dusk and the shadows Phantom bolted out at high speed without a moment to think Lancelot was impacted by a very powerful punch charge with ecto-energy, the strike toss the old knight far into a apartment building, crushing him straight into the living room of an already frighten family, the ancient knight pull himself up, surprise by the might of his adversary Lancelot answer this attack with his own energy charge punch but as he charge.

Phantom started to shoot a series of energy rays towards incoming knight, forcing him to cancel the assault as he had to take cover from the many blast that besiege him, the fight was so unusual for the knight, the attack patterns were so very different from what he was use to.

Lancelot could feel his defeat but surrender was still foreign to him, with courage he charge against through the many energy rays, Danny saw how the ghost came up close to punch him with might and dread, for the boy was toss to the other side of the road, Phantom crush on the ground breaking the concrete street, Amanda saw the town hero struggling to get on his feet as her legs shiver like jelly, people were starting to come out to see the battle, most were surprise to see the hero on the ground as they stood in utter disbelieve, while others were quick to call for police help, Lancelot glided towards the fallen boy with his sword still in his hand.

-"Thou art a palmy warri'r but thy not enow to did beat me"- said the old knight in a rusty armor as he thrust his glowing green blade towards Phantoms face.

.

The onlookers gasp as they witness Phantom quick reaction for he was now holding the blade just a few centimeters from his face, his nose was bleeding and so was his hand, the mixture of red and green caught the knight off guard.

.

-"What art thee?" question Lancelot as he notice that his enemy was holding the sword with just one hand, with a painful groan Phantom push the blade to the side forcing it into the ground, with his free hand Danny fire his trusty energy-ray straight into the knights face blowing his helmet off.

.

-"I'm complicated!" finally reply the ghost boy as he saw his enemy fly into the air.

.

-"Beshrew yo swine!"- yell out the old rusty knight as he fell with a loud thud, crushing on the ground, unable to believe the might and power of his adversary, the knight of old turn to see the young Phantom who was also struggling to stand up, the battle had taken a toll on the boy but even so he stood up..-"No one will ever hurt her again, not as long as i breath. I will crush you, you pathetic excuse of a knight"- threaten the boy as he started to charge an energy ray in his hands. The ancient knight smile as the towns hero fell to his knees, the energy in his hands had ran out.

.

-"No, why?"- wonder the boy in the terror.

.

The old bearded man knew Phantom was too young therefore he misused his energy in foolish attacks that only drain him yet even Lancelot didn't expect to take such a beating, dragging his feet the knight could almost drool over the boy as he lifted his brazen sword in the sky just above the kneeling teenager.

.

-"Timeth to parteth, f'r thee evil is nay m're"- preach Lancelot as he swung his blade down, Danny could see the incoming blade yet a single inch from his face the blade was abruptly stop by an even more powerful energize blast.

.

Lancelot was thrown once more like a simple rag doll, rolling him on the street, though with heavy breathing the knight lifted himself as his plate armor shatter in pieces while he witness that from out of thin air another adversary came to join the fight, the valiant knight of old saw the fury feel eyes of the new combatant that had just join in, his hair black as night which contrasted his white dressing and gallant cape.

.

-"Glad to see you Plasmius"- said Phantom as the man turn his head to see him.

.

-"Mind telling me who's this guy is and why are you so beaten up"- said Vlad as he observe the boy's bruising face and bloody nose.

.

-"Don't know who he is but he and his friends are after Jazz"- reply the boy as he somehow pull himself up next to Vlad. Both halfas stare at the old knight as he too kept his ever unflinching glare on the two ghost.

.

-"The knave wast already a dare but anon yond his mast'r is h're, i shall beest defeat'd. Curs'd devils"- whisper Lancelot as he ready his green glowing blade while thinking of a strategy to beat them.

.

-"Go after Jazz i'll deal with this old timer"- order Vlad as he step forward towards the old bearded knight.

.

Though Danny dislike following orders he knew Plasmius was right, Jazz had priority over any petty street fight even if it's against a real knight, with a head nodded the boy began to circle the ghost who kept his sword drawn to him.

.

Without warning a shrieking dragon rode down from the black sky as it spit blue fire above the young Phantom, unable to respond to the strike Danny did the only thing he could think, to cover himself with no more than his thin arms, to his surprise the hellish flames dance around him burning the ground but not his body as he expected.

.

-"Thanks Vlad"- said Danny in appreciation as he realize that the older Halfa had made a powerful energy shield to protected him from the flames of hell.

.

As the fires die down they both heard the raspy voice of the old knight as he yell out -"until we meeteth again," with that the ghost knight leap unto the dragon as he soon held the shoulder of the rider, the dragon rider quickly fled the battle.

.

-"Forget them, we gotta find Jazz before the others do"- said Phantom as he took flight even when his body felt like breaking apart, for the fight was far more intense than he initially thought.

.

While her beloved fought, Jazz run as fast as her legs could carry her while she scream for help and bang on every door she could reach yet to her bad luck she met with lock doors and seal windows as well as the same answer to her pleas of help.

.

-"Just go away, the ghosts will follow you here!" the girl kept running towards her house though it might as well be on the other side of the world, her legs began to ache forcing her to slow down, under the bright moon the redhead saw the shadow of a winged monster. As she lifted her head she could she beast land in front of her.

.

-"What is going on?" question the girl as she back away from the vile creature.

.

-"Prince Aragon shall reward me grandly at which hour i handeth thee ov'r"- said the skeletal dragon rider as he pull out a net, though before he could toss it over Jazz a couple of small energy blast hit the rider forcing him to move away for even if the rays were small and weak they still hurt.

.

-"Over here Jazz!" yell out a very familiar voice making the red hair teen to turn around, to her delight it was none other than Sam Manson who wave at her, Jazz force her legs to carry her to her new best friend, it came as a surprise to see the young goth to be firing a laser pistol though with very poor aim.

.

The moment Jazz jump across the door, the black hair teen slam it shut, soon a bunch of dark dress gothic teens were quickly blocking the entry, -"the sight is no better within the store but it certainly was much better to be here than out there with the monster"- thought Jazz.

.

She look around at the goths and emos as she also took notice of the black painted walls with fake skulls that decor the interior, soon the slamming caught her attention once more as Sam stood in front of her as some sort of last defense.

.

Jazz notice the weapon in Sam shaking hand, a brightly silver color handgun with a rectangular cannon, the weapon was no bigger than 10 centimeters, Jazz look closer to it even when the dragon rider hit the walls.

.

-"That brand, it's one of those guns my parents sell... i can't believe those things actually work"- thought the redhead as Sam pull her by the arm while instructing her to escape through the back door.

.

Unfortunately before they could reach the back door the rider broke through the wooden double doors hastily moving towards her little red hair prey, though brave young Sam shot the rider who cover under his metal shield keeping him from harm.

.

All within the goth shop could only see how the beast took hold of Jasmine, -"thy mineth anon dram bird, Prince Aragon awaits f'r thee" said the dragon rider as he turn around, with a loud yell Sam had jump on the skeleton as she tried to bring him down with her weak punching.

.

-"Tell your prince to fuck off cause she's not going anywhere!"- Threaten the goth girl as she kept striking the leather armor this fiend wore.

.

-"Alloweth wend of me, thee wh're"- yell the rider as he finally grab Sam by her small blouse tossing her against the tables.

.

-"... It was such a nice day... how am i gonna explain this to Danny..." whimper the girl as she saw the dragon rider leave with Jazz in his clutches.

.

"...Prince Aragon... gotta remember that..." said Sam as she succumbed to her fall.

.

The goth girl finally come to as she notice the bright sun light just outside the window, a few meters away she could see her friend Danny and his "dad" Vlad arguing, "i'm going no matter what!", said the boy with anger in his voice as the older man tried to reason him down.

.

-"I understand how you feel but we got nothing to go after, we can't just ran around the Ghost Zone yelling her name."- the girl saw how her best friend was frenetic.

.

-"How are you Sam?"- said Tucker as he walk up to her with a glass with water and some aspirins.

.

"head hurt but that's all"- reply the girl as she heard from her dark skin friend how a doctor had already check up, all courtesy of Vlad, though her wound were nothing to be concerned she did understand the need to avoid a hospital.

.

Soon Danny saw his female friend wide awake, -"I'm sorry Sam, you got hurt because of me"- said Danny as he finally left Vlad behind to embrace his friend.

.

-"Thank you so much,"- said the raven hair boy.

.

The goth would have been in a dream if it weren't because her friend was starting to sob due to his beloved sister been kidnap by an undead monster, for many to see the great hero Phantom in such a state would have been unthinkable, the goth wrap her arms around his slender shoulders.

.

-"What can i do to help... wait... that bony freak said... Prince Aragon" thought the girl. With a sharp look Sam broke the hug to tell her friend about what the dragon rider had said, she even said so in the same slang he spoke in.

.

-"Prince Aragon, though i only heard rumors about him, i think i know where his castle is"- said Vlad with that evil grin that's so usual on him as he walk up to Danny and took hold held his chin.

.

-"Of course i want to help miss Jasmine but be aware that i'm a very busy man, you do understand what that means, little badger"- continue the old Halfa

.

Danny gave him a death glare while he mouthed the word "son of a bitch". the young and beaten Phantom lower his head, he knew this was farther than what his hands could grasp, it was far more important than anything else.

.

-"You know what i want"- continue the old man, as both Sam and Tucker remain quiet.

.

-"...Fine"- reply the boy as he walk pass his friends to take a sit on the couch.

.

Sam look around the living room, -"where are your parents Danny?"- question the girl as she expected the loud arguing to have call them over, rather than a voice answer Danny pointed over to the coffee table, upon it she saw an invitation to a ghost hunting convention.

.

-"Seriously now of all times" said the goth as she figure that Jack would have run out dragging his wife upon barely reading the letter.

.

With determination in voice Danny ask -"how soon can we leave Vlad?"-

.

With arrogance the man reply -"now if you like,"- yet before they could step into the basement the halfas were stop by the dark skin teen.

.

-"Your not going anywhere without us, were a package remember"- said Tucker as he adjusted his beret, though their friend refuse the aid for he told them they would be in great danger if they follow, even so they weren't going to listen to such an excuse.

.

-"Listen Danny, Jazz maybe your sister-girlfriend but she's also my friend and i never turn my back on my friends, so i'll go save her with or without you" said the gothic girl as she wrap her arms around her chest while she made this statement. With no more option Phantom reluctantly took the help offer.

.

"Get ready guys we a castle to raid"

.
