Time Apprentice

Chapter 8

"This is Lance Thunder reporting from the streets of Amity Park. Not only has the city been sucked into what appears to be another world but green skeleton ghosts are attacking as well. The skeletons seem to be originating from beyond the city. My guess is that Amity and her citizens have been transported to the home of the ghosts. Team Phantom, (which consists of Samantha Mason, Tucker Foley, the Fenton's and the new ghosts that have been protecting the city for the past year and a half) are fighting the skeleton ghosts to hold them off.

"Even knowing the Fenton's called a Truce between them and Danny Phantom a year and a half ago, the ghost teen has not been seen for the same amount of time. Let's hope and pray that he will show up today." Lance Thunder yelp as a stray ecto-blast came whizzing towards him, he ducked before the blast hit. "AND LET'S PRAY TO GOD THAT IS SOON. I'M OUTTA HERE!" And with that the reporter ran off screen, screaming and running for his life.

Danny searched frantically for the three ghosts he was supposed to fight. The skeletons were advancing, pushing back his team. Said team was doing a fairly good job though, not letting a single skeleton get by them; but even knowing it will take some time, they would eventually be pushed back into a group near the centre of the city. Danny needed to finish this and quick, he and his alto-ego will not allow the city to fall into the hands of these ghosts.

An ear piercing, heart-wrenching, soul-shattering scream broke Danny out of his search. He looked down to where the scream originated from and saw a little girl about five, six years of age in the middle of the street, a pink ecto-blast heading straight for her.

Danny flew down as fast as he could, the wind whipping at his hair as he focused on getting in front of the little girl in time. He became visible, landed in front of the girl and brought up a square, see-through, green ecto-shield just in time. The blast made contact with the shield and fizzled out. Danny let the shield die away and glared at the ones responsible for the attack.

Vlad was floating a good two stories high in the sky. His left hand still smoking with pink mist from his attack. On either side of him were Dan and Pariah. All three wore frowns at the newcomer. But they couldn't tell it was Danny, for they could not see past his hood and his body was wrapped up in his cloak.

Danny felt something tug on the end of his cloak. He turned and knelt in front of the girl who was holding onto his cloak.

"Thanks Mr," said the little girl.

"It's alright. Now, go inside and don't come back out until this is all over, ok?"

The girl nodded and ran inside one of the buildings. Danny turned back to the ghosts in the sky and growled at that them. He got into a fighting stance, his hands becoming surrounded with a green aura as he channelled his ecto-energy into them, getting ready for whatever the three would throw at him.

"Who are you?" asked Vlad.

"Does it matter?" Pariah asked Vlad.

"He stands in our way." Said Dan, a sickening smirk on his face. "You know what we do to people who stand in our way."

Danny growled louder, lowering himself close to the ground before launching himself towards the trio. Danny was so quick the ghosts didn't see it coming. The young teen kicked Vlad in the chin which sent the older halfa flying back a distance, he then swirled around and punched Pariah in the gut, making said ghost hunch over and allowing Danny to kick him in the side of the head. Danny turned in time to dodge a blow from Dan and deliver his own punch to the side of his evil alternative self's head. The three regrouped, their hands glowing with pink, red and green auras.

Both Danny's human instinct and ghost instinct kicked in and melded together, on top of that, the rage he had for the three ghosts in front of him spiked an all-time high, making the teen a force to be reckoned with. Danny growled at the trio in front of him, waiting for them to make the first move, as if daring them to.
