Danny Phantom flew above the buildings and searched for anything out of the ordinary. Just a little to his left, there were the sounds of large-scale glass shattering and parts of buildings being destroyed. And, you know, the screaming was a big giveaway too.
He sped in that direction and heard the roar again. Arriving at the scene of destruction, Danny paused momentarily at what he was seeing: a big black ghost that was about the size of a truck from its shoulders. It moved on four legs easily and had a long, thick, whip-like tail. It looked like it was wearing nothing apart from a white mask that had glowing yellow lights for eyes. Nothing decorated the mask bar for two black elongated upside-down triangles coming down from its left eye.
Seeing it, Danny was confused for a few seconds. The few ghost animals that he had seen –Cujo and the Fright Knight’s steed- sure, they were a little different from what they used to be like when they were alive but they still resembled what they had been. Danny didn’t know a single animal that looked like what was in front of him. He was sure that there weren't a lot of animals that were that big either.
“Damnit, I already purified you already!” He could see Ichigo attacking the ghost with his sword below him.
“Danny Phantom, stop what you’re doing right now!” Danny cringed at the tone of voice that seemed like it came out of nowhere. His parents were here as well? Nothing could be simple, could it? And why was it that Ichigo and his mom kept on talking at the same time?
Wait, what? They were blaming him for this? He’d just gotten here! Didn’t they realise that? Wasn't it kinda really noticeable since he'd flown right over their heads?
The black ghost cackled. “Idiot shinigami. Did you really think killing me would be so easy?” It swiped at Ichigo, claws extended but Ichigo was able to jump out of the way easily.
“I’m not doing anything!” Danny protested to his parents. “I’m not working with that black ghost!” Wasn’t it obvious?
His parents ducked and ran for cover when the black ghost’s tail smashed against the building wall above their head.
“Don’t even try to trick us, Danny Phantom!” his mom yelled out at him. Well, at least they weren’t calling him Inviso-Bill, Danny thought resignedly. “There isn’t a black ghost there – it’s impossible for ghosts to be black anyway because of their being made out of ectoplasm. The only ghost here, is you.”
What? But that ghost wasn’t glowing… Huh, now why did that sound familiar? No-one could see the other ghost either?
The black ghost howled in pain. Eyes flicking to the fight -he really didn’t want to be distracted with his parents nearby- Danny saw blood spurt from an open wound on its chest.
He was about to turn back to his parents again to try to explain to them what was happening -two invisible ghosts were fighting and he had nothing to do with it. Really! …They were never going to believe him- when he realised what he had seen.
Blood. That ghost was bleeding. Not that he was squeamish or anything, but Danny had only seen one other ghost bleed: himself. Even then, when he bled in his ghost form, it was bright green – not the human red that was running out of the ghost.
Was it some kind of half-ghost like him and that was why it was so unlike any other ghost that he had encountered before? But even if that was true, that still didn’t make any sense. He and Vlad were half-ghosts, but they still vaguely held the same shape that they did when they were half-ghost compared to their human shape. This ghost couldn’t be compared to anything that was living on Earth. Unless it was like Cujo and it actually had two forms… That cleared up a few things once Danny started to think about it. This form in front of him probably didn’t look anything like its ‘small form’. It still didn’t explain the blood though.
Danny froze at the familiar sound of a Fenton weapon powering up. He dodged out of instinct and saw the green blob of ectoplasmic goo fly past him and splat on the black ghost. It yelled out in surprise rather than in pain.
“What the hell?” Danny heard Ichigo shout out. He sidestepped out of the way of a falling green blob that dropped from the other ghost.
“Well Danny Phantom,” Danny’s dad called out slowly, “you were telling the truth this time.” When Danny looked down at his parents, he could see both his parents pointing various Fenton weapons towards the black ghost.
What, they could see it now? Because it got hit by ectoplasm? Did that mean that every time a ghost went invisible to the living eye, all he had to do was hit it with something that shot out ectoplasm? They still couldn’t see Ichigo since none of the ectoplasmic goo had hit him Danny noticed.
Now that Ichigo wasn’t so close to the black ghost at that moment, Danny fired and ectoplasmic blast at it. It hit and the black ghost roared in pain. More blood flew from the new wound.
Surprised by the attack from above, the ghost stumbled into one of the buildings next to it. Glass shattered and rained onto the ground while parts of brick and concrete fell from the sky in thick dust clouds. Just before it crashed into the wall, one of its limbs grazed against a car; the screech being unmistakable. While the light tinkle of glass hitting the sidewalk could be heard, the sudden blaring of a car alarm made itself known.
Trying to ignore the incessant loud noise, Danny floated down slightly to try and see past the dust clouds. The ghost emerged scant seconds later and with a sweep of its hand, it backhanded Danny across the street where he landed a few feet away from where his parents were standing. At least he hadn’t landed on his head he supposed. The car alarm wasn’t helping though.
While Danny was getting back to his feet, he was able to see through a car window as the ghost’s tail sped towards Ichigo. Ichigo jumped clear of it and attempted to slice its tail before it retracted away from him with unnatural speed. Its tail swerved back and counterattacked by slamming into Ichigo and sending him flying next to Danny.
The black ghost laughed. “Did you really think that would work twice?” it taunted. “Are you that inexperienced that you don’t know how else to attack?”
“Yeah, ya bastard,” Danny heard Ichigo mutter under his breath as he got up on to his feet. “If I knew keydo, this would probably be easier.”
Keydo? Danny wondered. What was that? Maybe Ichigo meant Aikido; it was the only thing that Danny could think of that sounded vaguely familiar to the word that Ichigo had said. Or he had just misheard him. But why would the God of Death need to know Aikido when he had that massive sword?
“Your ghost attack may not have affected it much but I bet a Fenton Foamer will!” Jack yelled happily. He was holding the weapon in his hands and fired a shot at the black ghost.
The black ghost snarled at Jack and Maddie as it swiped again at the thick neon-green fluid now covering its other shoulder. The two stared resolutely back, not giving an inch while they held on to their Fenton weapons. It started to make its way slowly, shaking the ectoplasmic goo off of its body as it did so.
Danny flew up again to try and distract it. When it didn’t turn its head at him, Danny decided to fire another ectoplasmic blast to get its attention away from his parents. Even better, if he could momentarily blind it or something… That would give them moe of a chance to aim and fire wouldn't it? Danny aimed for its mask as a green ball quickly formed in his hands. The ghost glanced up at the green light just as the ball was about to hit.
It screamed this time. For longer, too. When it pulled its hands (or claws) away from its mask, Danny stared and felt his jaw open slightly. A part of its mask had cracked and crumbled from under the pressure of Danny’s blast – underneath, poking through the hole, Danny could see part of a human face. The face wasn’t glowing blue, translucent or see-through as was normal of ghost ‘tone’ – it was a living human face. And by living, it didn’t have a grey pallor of a dead person; it really looked like the face was still alive. Its blue eye contrasted against the glowing yellow eye that was still hiding behind the black depths of the mask.
‘That’s not possible; it has to be some sort of trick,’ Danny thought, a little dazed at what he was seeing. What was that ghost then, if was even a ghost?
The human eye contorted in fury and it bared its teeth (or something like that since, was it a mask if it was able to show its teeth? It moved whenever the ghost spoke and normal masks didn’t exactly do that. Except this wasn’t a normal ghost – if you could call ghosts normal, really). The ghost then whirled around just as Danny saw Ichigo’s form falling form the sky. The ghost lashed out with an arm to redirect the blade but somehow, Ichigo dodged, landed lightly on its arm for a second before continuing on his downward path. With his weight behind the sword (figuratively speaking of course, and now Danny was just getting confused with his own thoughts trying to work things out) it connected first with the mask, slashed straight through it and then completely through its body. Ichigo landed softly, as if he hadn’t fell from a high distance (but why was he comparing him to what normal, living humans would react like?), only bending his knees slightly.
As Danny watched on in disbelief, the ghost’s body dissolved into thin air. It wasn’t any ghost trick that Danny knew about unless it was some sort of last-ditch attempt of an escape. Eyeing the sword in Ichigo’s hand, Danny wondered if it sent ghosts to another dimension like the Fright Knight’s did. If that was the case, instead of sending whoever in to a dimension where they relived their greatest fear, being cut by Ichigo’s sword would send them to… Wait a minute, that ghost had been cut by Ichigo’s sword before so –
“Hey you! I need to talk to you.” Ichigo’s half-shout towards him cut short the rest of Danny’s thoughts.
“What just happened?” murmured Maddie. Looking down at his parents, Danny could see that they were shell-shocked by what they had seen. It was probably best if he left at that point; his parents would probably start to blame him for what had happened once they collected their bearings. Again.
Floating down so that his parents wouldn’t overhear him talking, Danny warily asked Ichigo, “You’re not going to send me like you did that ghost, are you?” He tilted his head in the direction of where the ghost had been standing.
Ichigo looked at him, surprise written all over his face. “Why would I do that?” he asked him.
Danny just rubbed the back of his neck. Because he was a ghost almost like the one you just sent? But he didn’t say that out loud. “Listen, could we talk at house?” Belatedly, Danny realised that Ichigo didn’t know where that was. Okay, he was going to have to explain everything anyway.
He saw Ichigo nod slowly. “The house with ‘Fenton Works’ and all the machinery on top of it?”
Danny cringed slightly at the description. “Yeah, that one.” Taking a look at the street around them, Danny saw how much destruction had occurred during the fight. The car alarm was still going – not surprising since no-one had come to switch it off. What sane person would? A quick closer look at the car showed that there were two clear gouges on the car's bonnet as well as the windscreen being completely covered in one big network of spider-web cracks. Maybe done by its tail.
The ground was littered by fragments of glass and brick and there was still a little bit of the dust cloud hanging in the air. The hole in the side of the building… Yeah, he really needed to get out of there before he was blamed for that. Hopefully no-one would come along and try and steal the –Danny tried to see inside- assortment of stationary that was being sold in that shop.
With a shake of his head, Danny flew up into the air to the height of the buildings. It wasn’t that much damage. Kinda. There was only a need for rebuilding a couple of walls (one needing to be re-made), a new car and replace a few windows. The rest was cleaning up. A bit more compared to what ghost attacks were like but it always depended on the ghost didn’t it?
Danny looked down to check the Ichigo was able to keep up with him just in time for him to see Ichigo land on the roof the building next to him from a jump. Um, okay.
He took off again at a moderate speed but Danny kept an eye on Ichigo as he flew home. What kind of God of Death ran on the ground and leaped from roof to roof (okay, the distance leaped was about twice the length a normal human could do) instead of flying?
He really hoped that Ichigo would be willing to answer at least some of his questions when they got to his house.
