Firebreather X Danny Phantom

Chapter 11

Maybe I need a Kaiju Sense, too. Danny thought. Katie and Max had gotten off the swings and were cowering behind Danny.

"Get to Allie and Brandon, now!" Danny ordered them. He handed Max his backpack as the two took off. Danny looked around in the newfound chaos of citizens. Gotta find some place to change. He thought as he dodged a few panicking people. Danny spotted the bathroom shack across the small park field.

"Here goes nothing..." Danny muttered and ran. The Kaiju stomped its way through the grove of trees it had been standing behind, allowing Danny to clearly see his opponent.

The Kaiju looked like a massive house fly, standing on its hind pair of legs with an equal size of redwood tree trunks. The other four limbs protruded as they would on a fly, yet had two sharp prongs for fingers on the end. Of course, the Kaiju had wings, just like its insect counterpart.

One of the legs stepped forward, almost crushing Danny as he somersaulted to avoid it. Danny raced behind the bathrooms and turned into Phantom. He soared into the air behind the Kaiju, quickly landing a single punch to what he assumed was the shoulder blade. The Kaiju screeched and whirled around, backhanding Danny in the process. Danny flipped end over end through the air into a tree.

After the dizzy nausea left his head, he spat out a mouthful of leaves.

"You are really going to get it." Danny growled. He grabbed the nearest branch and pulled it back, then let it whip him back into action. He rose above the giant and shot dozens of plasma balls all over the Kaiju. The explosions sent green smoke into the beast's eyes, making it screech once more. Danny watched a watermelon sized tear escape the Kaiju's gilded eye before it took a swipe at him.

Its leg passed through Danny's stomach. Danny just about shivered from the feel, even though intangibility was nothing new. The Kaiju spun itself around from the force of its attack, falling to where a little girl was standing in stupefied horror. Danny felt whatever color he had in his face leave as he swooped down and snatched her out of the way. Danny set her down well out of the way before he flew back into the sky. Immediately after, he dove down and kicked the Kaiju's face as it turned around to look at him. Its head whipped the opposite direction and it groaned as its massive body fell to the ground.

Thus, the fight was over. The park's atmosphere became still, a breeze quietly slipping over the titan. Danny took a deep breath but froze completely when he heard a small *ahem* behind him.

"Danny? Is that you?" The little girl he had saved asked almost too softly for him to hear. He gulped and turned himself around extremely slowly. The girl was none other than Katie.

"Katie, didn't I tell you to run?" Danny questioned while feeling a sweat drop slide down the back of his neck.

"But, you didn't follow us. Mommy got really worried and Daddy was going to come back for you. Me and Max decided that I would come get you while Max ran away with Mom and Dad." She cried quietly. She really was worried... Danny realized. He bent down onto one of his knees while letting the white rings of light return him to normal.

"Katie, it'll be alright." He assured her with a hug. Danny pulled himself back after a moment and put his finger in Katie's face. "Just promise me one thing."

"What?"

"Don't tell anyone."

"Huh? Why not?"

"I don't think everyone would be very happy if they knew."

"So I can't even tell Mom or Dad or Max."

"Not even them."

Katie looked away for a moment to think. "Okay. I won't tell. I'll even do a pinky promise!" She stuck out her little finger. Danny smiled and looped his around hers.
