Danny Phantom - Gender Bender (Discontinued)

Chapter Nine

On the way back from school, Danny's ghost sense was triggered. The trio knew exactly what to do. As a unit, they hid behind the closest wall or dumpster and prepared themselves. Danny morphed, and Tucker and Sam drew out their masks, stripped out of their uniforms into specialised ghost-hunting suits, which stayed hidden under their uniform, and readied their equipment, prepared to attack any ghost. "It's Skulker!" Danny exclaimed, firing up her fists.

"How'd you know?" San and Tucker asked simultaneously. 

Danny hesitated. "I just do. Now let's go kick her metal butt!"

They ran out of their hiding spots and onto the streets, keeping an eye on the sky for Skulker. Now this ghost has a particularly long history with Danny. It would have been less than a month into having her powers in which Skulker showed herself, planning to hunt Phantom down. Imagine Trunchbull from Matilda and the lady who got turned into a robot from Superman III and that's Skulker. She's a nasty piece of work, with every spare section of her armour clad in impressive ghost arsenal, all of which by this point in Danny Phantom's existence was designed to hunt her down. Skulker is in actual fact a small ghost blob that controls the suit from inside the head. That doesn't make her any easier to take down, even after two years of the same old battling routine. 

"Phantom!" came the familiar booming voice of Skulker. The trio assumed their fighting stances, Danny taking to the skies to hover in front of her second worst enemy. 

"Skulker," Danny greeted through gritted teeth. Phantom.... Her eyeballs blazed intense lime green as she fired herself up, planning to use what she could to make this fight as short as she could. Her eyes resumed their normality and she perked her lips up. Sulker's eyes widened, then her face fell into a snarl. "What are ya here for?"

"For you, whelp!" She charged an ecto cannon, the barrel larger than Danny's face.

The halfa rolled her eyes. "Obviously, skull face. But why today? Why here?"

"I've seen you flying through the Ghost Zone lately and I'm not going to stand for a creature like you to roam around as you wish in my home world."

The irony! "Yeah, and I could say the same for you, but you don't see me complaining. Oh wait, you do!" She threw a ball of energy into Skulker's cannon, causing it to blow up in her hand and forcing her back a few meters. Meanwhile, on the ground, the humans tied themselves into their hover boards, anticipating a chase fight. And they were right. Danny ducked a punch from Skulker, stuck her tongue out and zoomed off through the air. They sped off after them, firing from their 'borrowed' Fenton Works weapons at Skulker.

"Come back here, you whelp! You'll be the prize of my collection."

"No can do, bird cage," Danny called back with an ice ray. "Let me guess, Plasmius hired you?"

Skulker grunted as she shot, and missed, at Danny again. "And why would I tell you?"

"I don't know, but that response just did!" She stopped mid-flight. Skulker had no time to hit the breaks and was greeted by both of Phantom's fists, one glowing green and the other blue. It blew the ghost all the way down the street and over rooftops, until she smacked the ground with a crunch almost 800 meters away. 

Tucker and Sam watched the hunk of metal as she was blasted away, their eyes wide and jaws open. They looked up at a rather happy Danny. "What the hell was that?" Sam called up to her through the Fenton Phones. The halfa looked down and shrugged. 

"Just an ecto-ice whammy. Nothing new." She darted off towards Skulker without another word.

"Hey! I'm not finished. Danny!" He covered his speaker, and Tucker did the same. "Did you see that, Tuck! That was so..."
