Phantom Trip

Stabbed through the heart

  Danny crossed his arms. He tapped his foot on the ground. "Will you hurry up. They could be opening Pariah's death box right this moment."

Sam gave him a weird look. "Death box? Really?"

"Almost got it, dude," Tucker yelled from inside the Fenton Space Craft.

They had asked Danny's dad for the keys and took it with the excuse to see if the missing students had stayed behind in the ship. Maddie didn't know about it.

"A-ha. Got it." Tucker came out with a gun.

Danny raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that the gun you used to shoot Skulker? You still have it?!"

Tucker smiled proudly. "Yep. And I think it's going to help us out with....whatever mess Dash made in the castle."

Danny rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Let's just go. We've wasted enough time already." He grabbed his friend's arms and dragged them away. Tucker barely had enough time to shut the doors to the ship before he was dragged in the forest.

Leroy jumped and Danny dumped them on him. Then he let the glowing rings of energy envelop him. He was now Danny Phantom.

Danny stood still for a moment as black spots covered the edges of his eyesight. He blinked them away but still felt slightly dizzy.

Sam peered closely at him. "You ok?"

Danny closed his eyes shut tight. He felt his core. It was weak. He opened them. The dizziness was gone. He looked back at the ship and took a few unconscious steps away from it. "Yeah. I'm ok. Let's just go."

Tucker and Sam exchanged concerned looks as Danny flew up unsteadily. He hovered the air for a second before flying towards Pariah's Keep.

Leroy followed with Sam and Tucker riding him.

A pair of red eyes followed them. "Where are they going?"

The person kept looking until she saw the island. "Of course."

The eyes suddenly turned into slits. "They might want some help."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dash held his bazooka a little higher. The purple ghost, Fright Night, stood tall and menacing blocking the entrance.

Kwan followed his example and adjusted his grip on his own bazooka. "Hey!! Go away"

"Cool," Chelsea said. "Did you see that horse? It's a freaking pegasus. Or a unicorn. What do they call those things? A pegacorn? Like it's got the wings and the horn and everything."

Richard stepped forward. "Can I ride it?"

Fright Knight looked down at the boy. "Do you not know who I am? I am the Fright Knight, the ghost of halloween!!"

"You said that already," Chelsea deadpanned.

Richard took another step. "Well, mister Knight. Can I ride your horse?"

The horse neighed.

Fright Knight growled. "This is my stallion, Nightmare. He is loyal to me only."

"Aww, common. Just one ride?"

The ghost raised his sword and it burst in bright flames. "No!!" He shouted, before bringing down the blade and slicing Richard right through the middle.

Chelsea screamed as the boy disappeared without a trace.

Dash stood shocked for a second. Then he narrowed his eyes and shot the bazooka.

The green ray hit Fright on the shoulder. The ghost grunted and stepped back to keep balance. However, he was unharmed. His head swiveled to look at the blond. His purple eyes staring at him, telling him he was his next target.

Dash shot again and again.

Fright Knight deflected a few with his sword and jumped on Nightmare, who flew up.

Dash kept at it.

The ghost held his hands together. Power flowed through his hands and a purple kristal formed. It got to be about the size of a hand and he threw it.

The shot flew straight at Dash. His eyes widened and he jumped out of the way. The missile barely missed him and impacted on the ground instead. There was a loud bang and the ground was left burned.

Dash sat up from the ground dazed.

"Look out!" Kwan shot at the ghost. The unexpected blast was able to knock Fright out of his pegasus and he fell. Kwan's celebration didn't last for long as the ghost stood up. Fury in his eyes.

"You angered the Knight,
The consequences you'll bear,
You earned your punishment,
Now scream and despair."

And with that the ghost jumped forward and jabbed at the jock. Kwan sidestepped. But he lost his balance and the gun fell out of his hands. Before he knew it, a sword had stabbed him. He looked down to see the sword slicing his stomach. "Well shit."

"No!!" Dash shouted as his friend disappeared. "What did you do to them?!" He stood up.

Fright Knight laughed. "They are experiencing their worst fear. And they will never return again!!!"

Dash shot and ran. He ran to the hole in the wall. He stopped when a scream rang out. He looked back in horror.

Just in time to see Chelsea's stricken face disappear too. Her hand raised to shoot the wrist wray faded without a trace.

Dash paled as Fright Knight looked at him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Danny flew like a rocket.

More like a slow rocket. He panted. His core was still too weak.

Leroy bounded from door to door, using them as ledges to push himself forward. Tucker struggled to keep a grip on his gun.

Danny stopped. He heard a flapping noise. He glanced back and gasped.

Dora flew after them. Her great dragon body reflecting the Ghost Zone's light on her scales. She grinned at them. "Greetings. I assume you are going to save your friends? You might want some help."

"We need all the help we can get," Sam answered before Danny could say anything.

Danny sighed but smiled. "Fine, Dora... thank you."

She nodded and they flew the rest of the way to the castle.

Danny landed after Leroy. He turned back into human. Sam and Tucker dismounted.

Tucker whistled. "Seems like nobody has come to clean up after all those years."

Danny looked at the bodies. The remains of Pariah Dark's army.

"Hey guys, look." Sam pointed at footprints on the ground. Human footprints.

They led to the doors.

A scream was heard.

Danny paled when it stopped. He ran forward, the others right behind him.

He heard fighting and sounds of gunshots. He picked up the pace. "They're fighting someone."

He ran past the doors and through the hallway and entered the throne room. He remembered this place so clearly. When Pariah Dark had come to rule the Ghost and the Human Zone, Danny had come to defeat him. He had been ready to give his life for it.

Another scuffle was heard and he shook his head.

He dodged bricks and scrambled through the hole.

To see Dash close to him. The blond was looking back at something. Danny looked and paled.

He had come just in time to see Fright Knight stab Chelsea in the heart with the Soul Shredder.
