Firebreather X Danny Phantom

Chapter 20

Tuesday, November 21st.

Danny hadn't slept a wink that night. The meditation session didn't make things better either. Somehow, he wasn't tired at all. Even so, Jeremy and Brian hadn't switched yet, leaving Danny with still nothing to do. He hadn't tried powering up his ghost rays since the last time, worried that he wouldn't be able to stop it.

"Hey Jeremy! What's today?" Danny suddenly asked.

"It's Tuesday. Have you already lost track of time in there?" Jeremy grunted in reply.

Danny said nothing in response. That means I've got two days left. And I don't think they'll just let me out before then, anyway. He looked around the white room. Everything a normal room needed; books, bathroom, and a bed; all except for one missing piece: a window. The one thing that reminded him that this was a prison, not a home. I have to get out of here. It's about time I did too.

"Goin' ghost!" Danny yelled, allowing the white rings to encircle him. Right after the rings vanished, he fired his ghost rays around the frame of the door. The out of control high-energy beams tore through the metal like it wasn't there. When the circle was finished, Danny walked over to the door and kicked it over. It collapsed into the hallway with a loud smack.

Jeremy sat on the floor just out of reach of the rubble, breathing heavily.

"Sorry, Jeremy." Was all Danny said as he took off down the hall in the opposite direction. An alarm began blaring alongside several bright red lights that illuminated most of every hall. M.E.G.T.A.F. soldiers appeared from rooms adjacent to Danny, armed and aimed to fire.

Danny skidded to a stop once more soldiers blocked his route. Crap. He thought, watching the hall start to overflow with fighters. He quickly noticed that none of them were closing in on him, rather keeping their distance. It wasn't long until some of them parted and Blitz walked through, holding his own gun.

"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way." He said with a stern look on his face.

Danny looked all around him several times, starting to grin. "I'll make it easy." He chuckled, putting his hands halfway into the air with a shrug. Most of the guards lowered their guns and stared at him through tinted helmets. "For me." Danny finally added, falling down below the floor. Blitz shouted something as he did, but Danny couldn't make it out.

From there, Danny flew as fast as he could in what felt like the right way. He suddenly popped out into a massive room. He slowed down to see two titans pressed against the wall in sleeping pods. Are these the Kaiju that Duncan told me about? He thought. Danny heard metal boots resounding, closing in on him in the nearby hallways. He panicked and took off upward. This time, he passed all kinds of floors and rooms. Including the men's restroom, which was thankfully empty.

Danny pushed himself harder to fly faster. Several moments passed before Danny was moving through solid rock again, and then suddenly open sky. He stopped where he was to become tangible and to take a few deep breaths of cold, fresh, morning air. Feels like it could snow. But I don't think it will.

His thoughts were interrupted by the roar of aircraft engines. Danny easily found two jets beginning to pursue him, and moaned as he raced away yet again. This time he headed for the cover of the narrow canyons. He could hear the thrusters behind, attempting to avoid the rock walls and gain on him. Danny smirked, dodging the obstacles with ease and adding speed. He took a second to look back at the planes and how poorly they were doing in the crammed space. The canyon walls unexpectedly opened up to a vast plain.
