Firebreather X Danny Phantom

Chapter 15

            It happened as quickly as it started. Danny and Duncan sent Jackal back wheeling from a combo punch, creating a large distance between them.

"What's that noise?" Duncan suddenly asked.

"Well, you're not crazy, I hear it too." Danny replied. The hissing and high-pitched squealing they heard got closer and louder until... bam. A missile hit Jackal, the explosion doing nothing to Danny or Duncan.

"What the heck? We didn't even get to fight." Duncan whined. The smoke cleared and Jackal lay on the ground unconscious. His clothes had brand new scorch marks, each containing a hole of different size. The flaming Mohawk was gone, leaving a shiny head in its wake. Then the sound of a helicopter filled the air. It wasn't long before a M.E.G.T.A.F. jet was threating to blow Danny and Duncan away as it came closer to the ground.

"Aren't you kids supposed to be at lunch?" Was the first thing Blitz (dressed in his usual commander gear,) said as he stepped out the hatch.

"And this is what you do for a lunch break?" Danny retorted.

"Fair enough, kid. Don't worry about this guy- ghost, thing, whatever. M.E.G.T.A.F. is all over it." Blitz put an arm around each of them and began walking back to the school. Danny looked back over Blitz's arm to watch other M.E.G.T.A.F officers move Jackal into some form of a stasis pod. Not good. Danny's conscience warned him.

"Also, I advise you two to forget what you saw here. Other than that, have a good day." Blitz left them at the door without waiting for their response and returned to the jet. Together, Danny and Duncan watched the jet lift off, raise high into the sky and race off to the horizon.

"I guess it's a good thing he's not so vague in gym class, huh?" Danny commented once the jet was gone.

"Yeah. But what was that about? I kinda-sorta know M.E.G.T.A.F., and they've never had any sign of interest in the paranormal. Besides, I always believed their primary focus was Kaiju." Duncan said.

"Aren't Kaiju and the paranormal pretty much the same thing?" Danny questioned.

"Pfft. No. Paranormal is the stuff that hasn't been proven to exist. Kaiju definitely exist." Duncan countered.

"Right. Cause ghosts don't exist." Danny scoffed. "Come on, let's head back inside."

"Sorry. Still trying to get used to all that." Duncan face palmed and followed Danny. It took about five minutes for them to find the group with Sarah.

"King Danny! Did you get 'em?" Sarah squealed.

"Uh... yep! The bad person is gone now. But please promise that you'll be careful going home, okay? There's still a lot of trouble a little girl like you can get into." Danny explained softly.

"Yes Your Majesty!" Sarah nodded.

"I've already told you, there's no need to call me 'King' or 'Your Majesty.' It's just Danny." He smiled.

"Okie dokie, Danny!" She agreed happily. She then skipped way from them and down the hallway until she faded into nothing. At that moment, the lunch bell rang, signaling the students to head for their next classes.

"Man, you two have the dramatic timing of comic book superheroes." Isabel said.

"Let's hope we don't continue the trend to the point where we're all late for class." Duncan laughed.

End of School.

Danny exited the front doors and made it to the sidewalk before Troy and his gang found him.
