Chapter 2: With Change come new chances.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Danny stared in surprise as Dash offered him a hand. “Need help?” He asked, to which Danny could only nod the shock of the offer and who was offering still affecting his brain’s processing ability. “Uh thanks Dash.” Danny smiled slightly worried it was some trick but as he was lifted easily to his feet the tall jock only nodded and moved on with getting his stuff from his locker. Danny cocked a brow but shrugged moving on with his own day. It had been not a week since Dash had started to act strange; at first little things like forgetting to stuff him and other unpopular into the lockers, to larger more surprising things like just now with offering to help him up after one of the other jocks had just tripped him.

Sam and Tucker were off on some project they had for another class, they and another twenty students were going to be gone for a whole two weeks. Leaving him on his own, leaving him at the mercy of the school body. It wasn’t so bad he thought with a small smile Alex and the others were there for him, in fact a little more so then Sam or Tucker. He figured it could be because his new friends were ghost hybrids like himself but with a lot more experience.

Speaking of the devil Danny saw as Alex finished removing his art book from his locker. He found it a little silly that someone who had in one day earned the nick name of ‘Alpha’ from the body for his dominating presents and his almost fanatical adoration of anything to do with wolves. Would dive so deeply and easily into the arts, but he had talent and that was for sure. Danny had seen his work and even saw despite the big guy’s best efforts to hide it a small animated music video he was making depicting the new and old ghost heroes of Amity Park.

“Hey Alpha, how was history?” Danny asked parking himself next to the taller teen. “Oh well enough I suppose…just a little annoying, but of course you know why I’m sure.” He said with a small chuckle and turning to start for his next class. “Yeah I’m sure it’s hard not to say it as if you were there.” Danny remarked getting a small laugh from the other teen. Danny could only grin more it was one thing that he had learned about Alex; or rather been told and found to be very true, the big guy was a softy at heart and was only hard on the outside because it made his day go by without interruption.

With Alex heading to his own class Danny moved to head for his next class. Danny smiled, despite how much things changed, and how bad things could have gotten the world seem perfect now. He didn’t want things to change any more they were just right. Plus next week would be Halloween time!

Skulker frowned as he stood watching as the Ghost boy stalked through his school territory. “Soon Ghost Child we will settle things.””Unlikely Skulker, if what those two incompetent youngsters told us is true there should be some….new prey, new annoyances.” Technus said with a worried frown. His cape flapped gently behind him. “Still I hope your able to handle them with all the new upgrades I’ve given you.”

The two ghosts continued to watch until out of the shadows the true ring leader appeared. “Is everything ready you two?” Vlad asked with a toothy grin. “Yes, though I still don’t like the fact you will not allow me to take the boys pelt.” Skulker frowned but a glare from Plasmius shut him up quickly. “Should he, or these new halfas refuse my offer to join me, then they are all yours Skulker. Technus you sure you got the settings right I don’t want any easy foul ups on this.” Vlad growled turning to watch as Danny took his seat in his class.

“Don’t worry Mr.Plasmius the modifications I’ve made to the neutralizer cubes should make what happen the last time you used them not even a possibility.” Technus said with a smile. “When should we strike?” Skulker asked looking over at his two compatriots. “Soon, I’d like to avoid any meaningless harm to the humans.” Vlad sneered as he and the other two ghosts vanished. ‘Soon my new friends, soon we will show this world a real fright.’ Vlad chuckled as he was swallowed by the shadows.

+++

Dash grunted as he took another blow to the gut, but he refused to heal. He pushed back and with a harden growl sending himself and the other player to the ground. It had been like this all class period, no matter what he tried the other jocks refused to show him any respect. They kept thinking his sudden change of heart made him weak, it had done nothing of the sort. “When will you morons get it through your thick skulls!?” He yelled turning to glare at the rest of the practice team. “We have a big game just before Halloween!” He snapped, picking the other guy up and tossing him over to his friends. “I will not have our school lose again because of you ding bats. Pull you heads out of the warm holes they’ve been in and get it together!” He stormed off to grab a cup of water while the other teens licked their bruised prides.

“Cruse them, just cause I’m trying to turn myself around…does not mean I’m still not the best.” Dash cursed as he splashed his face with the cool water. He sighed and turned to survey the fields and couldn’t help but frown. Only the actual players of the teams were at any of the games or exercises, the rest of the class were on the track as a means to escape playing against the real athletes.

“When will those losers grow a backbone?” He muttered taking another cup of water and swallowing it down. A gentle tapping drew his gaze and to his surprise he found Alex standing on the bleachers above him. “Alpha…I mean Alex it’s you.” Dash said in surprise. “What are you doing here?”

Alex only shrugged and chuckled “My class was told to come out side to practice drawing action scenes.” Dash blinked, he had heard the rumor that he was in an art class but had no real proof until just now. “Why are you in art? I’d have thought you’d been on a team by now.” Dash said with a small frown. Alex gave a small chuckle and sat down. “Why? And risk competing with you for top spot athlete star?” Alex scoffed at this opening his sketch book. “No thanks, I’ve had my fill of sports from my past to last me a life time. No the schools pride on the field is yours to maintain.” Alex said as he begin to draw something.

“Afraid of me or something?” Dash asked climbing up to offer the wolf fanatic a cup of water. “Thanks, and no I just feel it is not my place. We all have our places, be it for better or for worse. Some of us are meant to be just normal average students. Others are meant to be the brains, and others are meant to be the brawn. While others are meant to rise to the top and fight to stay there.” Dash turned to gawk at him for his words. “So what is your place?” Dash asked. Alex suddenly looked up and in a blur had caught the foot ball that was heading for Dash’s face. “Protector…I protect people.” He said holding the ball and pulling it away from Dash’s face. “You are a star, and with time will become a hero to others. Just give it time and be patient. Things will fall into place in due time, they always do.” Alex smiled handing Dash the ball. Dash sighed taking the ball and finished his cup of water.

Before he left he caught a glimpse of something on Alex’s sketch book, staring up at him was himself, a rough but well done portrait of him in an action pose in his football uniform. “Oh I almost forgot, Dash would you and your friends care to join me and my friends for a little Halloween party next week?” Dash stopped in his tracks, turning to see that the other teen had a small smile and a soft look in his eyes. “You serious?” Dash asked only getting a small nod from the other teen. “Well….sure if you come to the game that week.” Dash retorted with a grin, Alex nodded “It’s a deal then my friend.” Dash turned and headed back to the field. For the first time he had a real friend, and nothing that the other jocks did could take that warmth he had felt away.

+++

As the majority of the other students were leave, Alex and the others were busy discussing plans for the Halloween party. “Well what do you think Danny?” Von asked, the younger teen only shrugged and smiled “I think its okay.” Danny turned to look as Dash and some of his friends head in their direction. “What is he doing here?” Danny muttered, Alex only smiled moving forward to meet Dash. “Ah something on your mind?” He asked only getting a small nod “Yes I wanted to ask you if my friends here could come. I doubt you would stand for uninvited guest.” To everyone surprise Alex doubled over laughing. “Oh by the either!” He cried laughing to himself. Paulina and Kwan both raised a brow wile Valerie frowned. “Oh dear I’m sorry but I’d never expect you would be worried about something like that Dash.” Alex grinned to which Dash only shrugged looking away. “I don’t see why they can’t join you at the party as your guests.” Alex turned to his own little band all looking at him with small worried glances but none saying anything against the decision.

“I just hope you’d be willing to help, we are having more people wanting to come then I’d had expected.” Alex smiled as Paulina, Kwan, and Valerie looked to him in surprise. “I think we can help.” Dash smiled and Alex nodded in approval; “Great, we will be holding the party just west of here in an old abandon church complex. We will be meeting there in an hour, if you want you and you group can meet us there to start getting the place all ready.”

“Sure we will see you there.” Dash and Alex both gave the other a firm hand shake before Dash moved his group away. “Alex, you are letting them join us?” Danny asked nearly bursting with anger, of all the people to join in on their party Dash Baxter and his cronies. “What’s the matter I thought you’d want a chance to dance with Paulina?” Leo asked, with a small giggle. “I-I well I.” Alex chuckled and patted Danny’s shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t worry, besides it’s a party what is a party without people?” Alex smiled.

“So does that mean I’m invited too?” Came a deep venomous voice. The entire group looked up to find Skulker sitting there with a dark grin over his metal face. Danny eyes widen in shock “Skulker…”

“Who?” Alex asked looking up at the metal bodied ghost. “I am Skulker, Ghost Zones greatest hunter!” The large phantom boasted with a murderous grin he flicked his arms up and from several points several mean looking devices popped up. “And I have a score to settle with you Phantom!” He growled and fired.

+++

Vlad clinched his fist tighter, energy building in his fists. ‘That idiot! I told him to wait until I gave him the signal!’ He sighed as he relaxed, oh well time for reserve plan B. “Technus go and support Skulker, make sure to get those six to the warehouse separately.” Technus turned and nodded “I Technus shall prevail this time!” He cackled before whizzing away as a bolt of energy into the power cables and headed for the confrontation at the rear of the school.

As he watched the plan take shape he couldn’t help but frown, something in his gut told him this wouldn’t go well. According to Ember and Youngblood the new halfas were not like any other ghost he had encountered before. He could feel a unseen power flowing around them, but what was it? “Oh well only one way to find out.” He chuckled as he vanished to make sure the rest of the plan went off without a hitch.

+++

Danny and the others ducked and scattered as Skulker let lose a barrage of missiles and laser blasts. “How rude!” Inna complained as she dusted herself off “I think it’s that time boys and girls.” Von grinned as the teens took up their positions. “GOING GHOST!” They roared and in a blinding flash there now stood six new ghosts. Danny Phantom and the Phantom Clan.

Skulker blinked in surprise but chuckled oh this would be a good hunt, but a firm tap on his shoulder drew his attention. “What?” He growled looking at the other ghost.

“Who is the new guy?” Alex asked pointing to the new ghost dressed in a sharp looking suit and sporting a decent cape and hairstyle, it was obvious the new ghost heard it and Danny sighed along with Skulker they knew what it meant. “I AM TECHNUS 2.0, MASTER OF SCIENSE AND ALL THINGS TECHNICAL AND BEEPING!!” Danny sighed “Great now that is out of the way.” With a roar he fired a full charge ghost ray at the two but only managed to blast a nice hole through the trees branches. “Nice shooting Tex.” Inna chuckled, the rest only shrugged while Danny sighed. “Not his fault they are running.” Alex growled taking flight, the others fast on his heels.

As he had said the two had gone intangible and were now fleeing. “Maybe, but something feels out of place.” Von commented Inna and Relena took up the flanks and each took a shot at the retreating ghost but only managing to blast someone’s TV Dish. “Hold your fire until they are within a better firing position.” Leo looked to Alex, who had a stern look to his face. “Something wrong bro?” He asked only getting a nod. “Leo, you go with Inna and Relena and take down the professor ghost. Danny you, I, and Von will take the hunter.” They continued the chase them until the two ghost split up and vanished into the warehouse district. “Great…..split up and be careful I got a bad feeling about this.” The others nodded and gave a firm “Roger.” Danny, Alex, and Von took off to where they had last seen Skulker while Inna, Leo and Relena took off after Technus.

None of them aware they were being watched.

Dash had been heading home alone when he and the others split up after their agreement to help with the Grunder’s Halloween party. The others hadn’t been to happy about being volunteered to help but he had convinced them it was for the best. He sighed heavily, asking himself ‘why was doing the right thing so hard’ but he got an immediate answer, remembering one of his early talks with Alex.

“If everything was easy and came without effort what would be the point in doing them or striving for that goal? Nothing that is ever worth working for comes easily. It takes time, dedication, and a strong belief in following the path one has chosen.” Alex had told him, and he sighed he was reminded how right Alex was. It made him often wonder where did the teen come from, he had never said but he seemed so more mature than anyone he had known.

“Oh well I’d best get changed so not to ruin my good cloths. I bet this church will be just filthy-“ BOOM!

“What the!?” Looking up he saw two ghosts go flying above him, and six in hot purist, one of the leading ones was his hero Danny Phantom. “Danny Phantom!” He gasped, without thinking he broke into a run following them as fast as he could. But they were to fast and soon all he had was a general idea of their direction. “This is probably not a smart idea…but he might need me help.” Dash panted out as he kept up his running, fighting for each breath and step. He looked up and saw they had just split up heading into one of the warehouses he was coming up to. “Something is up. And who are those new ghost with him?” He muttered crawling through a torn hole in the old fence.

Ducking through and under pies he made his way into the warehouse. Always trying to keep sight of Phantom and the two ghost who had split off from the group with him.

+++

Danny and the others had not seen hide nor slim of Skulker and turned to head out of the warehouse when a silent and hushed hiss drew their attention. “OH CRAP!” Von cursed as he fell a dart logged in his back, “BRO!” Alex gasped and staged in mid air. He had a dart in him as well but unlike his brother he remained standing. “YOU BASTARD!” He roared and turned and let lose a high yield blast in the direction of where the dart had come from, blasting a chunk of the roof off. Another dart took flight landing in his chest. He gasp and staggered another was fired this one hitting Danny who gasp and felt himself fall paralyzed to the floor.

“Shit…another paralyzing drug..” He grunted looking over to Von who was also struggling to stand, Alex floated down with four darts in him and his eyes burning with rage. “SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD! YOU DARE CALL YOURSELF A HUNTER THEN FACE ME WITHOUT THESE CHEAP JOKES!” Alex howled, out only to gasp and cough as Skulker appeared in front and slammed his fist into his gut and then his face sending the soldier flying his helmet and head smashing into a crate shattering it. “Big talk for a pup…what!?” Skulker gasped as the teen stood and rushed back at him, his fist ablaze with power and struck like a savage beast striking several times at once. “Gahh!” Skulker cried as he was sent flying his jaw lose and his armor cracked. “Don’t you dare mistake me for anything less then the best you ranked amateur!” Alex growled, before jumping up and bring both fist down on Skulker’s head like a bomb.

“Now now we will have no more of that young one.” A cold voice echoed out and shortly a small cube flew at Alex and in a flash he found himself in a circuit covered box and let out a high pitched cry of pain as it surged with power. The two on the floor looked up in shock as Vlad made his grand entrance, with the three other siblings in cubes being towed by Technus and two copies of Vlad. “Vlad Plasmius.” Danny muttered but he and Von both cried out in pain as they were soon trapped in the circuit covered cube containers.

“The Neutralizers!” Danny coughed as he felt himself being forced to shift back to Danny Fenton.

+++

Dash felt as if his jaw had fallen clean off his face. Did he just see what he thought he saw? Rubbing his eyes in disbelief he watched as the three ghost he had followed, be forced to change into Alex, his brother Von and his hero Danny Phantom into the loser Danny Fenton. “This can’t be happening” he muttered, watching as two ghost who looked identical to the one that had bested Alex come in with the cringing and struggling forms of Inna, Relena, and a oddly cool looking ghost in a cap and suit hauling young Leo.

He watched as the ghost impersonator of Dracula landed and merged with the other two copies after they had placed Inna and Relena among their brothers and Danny. Leo was fighting the most and constantly spitting out curses at the victorious ghosts. A shot from the bulky ghost silenced him quickly covering his mouth with goo. “Thank you that was getting annoying.” Dracula commented with a sigh before he took center stage grinning down at the six captured teens. “Well what do you think young ones?” He asked, only getting death glares from them and Danny.

“What is your plan now Plasmius?” He asked, the tall ghost chuckling “Why my dear boy to get what should rightfully be mine. I’m here to offer you all a place at my side, together we could have anything and everything!” He chuckled as he stepped closer showing them his mastery of his powers to which Danny only growled and barked out “I told you once and I will say it again, you are once crazy fruit loop. I’ll never join you!” The others all remained silent but watched Plasmius closely. “Oh I know boy I wasn’t about to hold my breath for you. However, what about your new friends hmm?””Who are you exactly?” Inna asked getting a smug smile from Plasmius. “I am Vlad Plasmius my dear, and like you I too am half human and half ghost. Just with more experience…and the wealth for using my powers for personal gain. Join me children and we together can rule this world.” He grinned as he continued “You could have your hearts greatest desires!” He added floating up and showing his mastery again creating an energy wall, then splitting into multiple versions of himself to his control of his intangibility and invisibility.

Dash was breathing heavily, he had to do something. “If we refuse to join you?” Von asked, getting a smart look from Vlad who only snapped his fingers and the teen found Skulker standing over him a glowing blade appearing from his wrist and hanging over his hand. “ I’m sure you can guess boy.” Skulker chuckled tapping the blade on the box.

“You have no other choice.” Vlad smiled while Technus gave them a shock to think about. The group cried out in pain except Alex who was clinching his jaw so tightly he had started to bleed, blood flowing down his chin and neck. “Ohhh seems someone is a tad bit angry wouldn’t you say?” Vlad asked getting dark laughs from Technus and Skulker. That was it Dash looked around and grabbed the first hard object he could find, pulling the rod from the ground he burst from his hiding place as fast as he could and brought it around in a wide arch the steel rod finding purchase in the faces of Vlad and Technus, the two caught unaware and sent flying into the crates behind him.

“DON’T GIVE UP!!” he called out and blinked at the shocked, and frighten faces he saw on them, even Alex seemed afraid now. ‘what is wrong?’ he wondered, turning around he found himself face to face with Skulker. “Oh no.” He muttered the tall ghost grinning darkly down at him. “Brave boy, but foolish looks like you won’t get to live to that average life I thought you’d have.” He raised his arm and brought the still extended blade down at Dash’s head, in desperation he flung the rod up and stopped the blade but only just, the rod seeming to hiss in pain at the glowing blade bit into its surface.

Alex gasped and cried out “DASH DON’T BE A FOOL RUN THIS NOT A FIGHT YOU CAN GET INVOLVED IN!” Dash smirked and pulled a stunt he had seen Alex pull once before, he allowed Skulker to push him back and as he fell slammed his left foot into him and hurled him up and over him as he fell. “Wrong, we are friends I can help!” He smiled and moved to try and help them out but was stopped by a beam blast from Technus and Vlad “Foolish boy! We are more then powerful enough to turn you into a bloody smear!” Technus cackled raising his power mace up over his head.

Dash grunted and turned, he could feel himself about to pass out he looked down he saw he was bleeding from somewhere. He turned to look up at Danny. He saw the young teen was upset about something. As he studied his face the world seem to slow down; he smiled slightly but then sighed he now understood why the boy and his friends and others hated him. He had been such a fool, such a complete and total idiot.

He would never hold it against them if they never forgave him but, looking at his face now Dash realized he still had a chance he could still “Danny…Fenton…your turn.” He gasped and with his last strength stabbed the rod into the box and punctured its harden surface, the break in the circuits was all that Danny needed and with a surge of power shifted to Danny Phantom and busted from the boxes confines. “Oh my one of them has escaped” Technus chuckled as Danny leaned over the now unconscious Dash, he gently rubbed the boys face and neck checking for a pulse; to his relief the boy still was alive, but he was bleeding badly from a gash on his forehead. The young ghost hero turned to utter some anger filled curse at the three ghosts but found himself suddenly at the mercy of Skulker. The hunter had none.

The others struggled in seeming vain to free themselves as Danny Phantom was beaten and bludgeoned to unconsciousness by the upgraded hunter. As he collapsed becoming Fenton again, Vlad floated over him and sighed. “My poor boy if only you weren’t so much like your father…an idiot.” At that last statement he raised his arm and fired a ectoplasmic beam straight into Danny the beam burning a hole through his gut, blood rushing from the open wound as the blast sent him flying to land among a pile of shattered crates.

Suddenly a rage filled howl was let loose and the three ghosts turned from their toy to find a site that sent a chill to their cores. Alex’s eyes were shinning an eerie blue and he seemed to be covered in a halo of power. “YOU MURDERS!” He roared out causing the three to back away, the other siblings also in an equal state of blood boiling rage. “Hah nice try boy, but there is nothing you can do to break out of that. Even if you did I am more than powerful enough to beat you.” Vlad chuckled as Alex struggled but then gasped as Alex let lose another high pitched howl. “YOU THINK THAT YOUR TWENTY YEARS OF EXPERINCE IS SOMETHING, BUDDY YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING YET!” In a cry of rage he suddenly was enveloped in a flash and fog of light and lightning. The three villains backed away slunking from the light as their vision cleared and their senses began to pick up what was happening they saw a awesome sight.

Standing over the broken remains of a neutralizer box a towering black furred werewolf stood his eyes burning a blazing blue, and his long head fur and tail flowing in an unseen wind, his claws and jaws flexed and tighten as he glared at them. “I am Ofnir, and I have been alive since the time America was still being settled in the west!” The wolf growled, before it vanished in a blur of motion, the black blur rushing up to the three ghosts and sending them flying in a flurry of slashes and punches. As they landed they hear more of the blood chilling roars and turned to find the other siblings now free of their boxes, but in their place were more horrors of the ages long passed. Standing in Von’s place a snow white tiger, his saber fangs and bared in fury his body a bulking mass of power and muscle. In the place of young Leo a small red furred version on Alex, the fox like creature hopped up to sit comfortable on the shoulder of the towering tiger. Beside them the young ladies of Inna and Relena stood in a eerie form of a bat, their slim elegant forms dripping with the aura of death. Their thin furred limbs ending in a delicate hand of three razor clawed digits and a digit that became the edge of a wing. The creature’s eyes all burned with a fury that none of them had seen before. For the first time ever Skulker, Technus, and Vlad were afraid.

“Now we will show you how true halfas fight, as the power of our spirits are at their zenith when we allow mother nature to guide us!” The young fox growled. In a blur of action Skulker, Vlad, and Technus found themselves at the monsters mercy. Except they had none.

Vlad split into four copies to contend with Alex but found he was always being harassed by the fox who vanished and appeared like a shadow. Skulker could not even compare to the tiger. His strength of steel hardly doing more then causing the tiger to begin to sweat. The tiger in turn easily began to tear into Skulker like some helpless animal. The sisters had Technus tied up always moving and always sending a glowing star disc at the phantom scientist he soon found himself covered in cuts and his body pinned to a wall by the ghostly throwing weapons.

Skulker and Technus found themselves bested but in better shape than Vlad. The dark Halfa found himself in the burning sights of Alex or Ofnir the werewolf g host, the beasts claws left blazing trails of light as they slashed out or were curled into a fist the force of each blow ripping the very life from Vlad with each hit. The evil ghost could not stand to such force, he fell to his knees gasping for breath. “Please no more!” He begged but coughing as his head was grasped like a ripe fruit in the wolf’s giant paw. “You didn’t stop when you hurt our friends.” The wolf growled. Alex grinned coldly at Vlad, who screamed as he felt the pressure on his head increase extremely fast, he could feel his bones starting to crack under the pressure. Was this how his end would come? “S-stop it!” Alex immediately dropped Vlad and turned along with his siblings to find Dash, on his feet “He is no longer a threat…but Danny…Danny needs help!” He cried tears mixing with his blood as he stood over the other teen. The wound in his gut still bleeding despite Dash’s attempt to stem the flow with his jacket tied around the boy’s body.

“Dash…he is right we are done here.” Alex growled and in a heartbeat had scooped Danny and was up leaping to the roof, and in a flash shifted back to his normal ghost form his black trench coat and uniform flowing in the wind as he took flight. Dash in the arms of Von and the other Grunders behind them followed suit. “You okay Dash?” Von asked looking concerned for the other teen. “I am just cut up a little. Danny he needs help the most.” Von nodded, in the back of his mind however he was worried how this would affect Dash. He had just learned a heavy truth. One that would weight heavily on him in the future.

+++

Danny lay unmoving in the hospital bed, his family by his side. His friends having heard of the accident had rushed back as fast as they could. None of them knew the truth, and no matter what they said Dash refused to say anything other then how he found him and got help from the five ghost that brought them to the hospital.

Dash sat quietly nearby his head heavily bandage and his arm in a sling for the massive sprain it had taken. However, his thoughts and those of the others in the room were for the boy in the white bed. Despite the best efforts of the doctors he was not given much hope he had lost a lot of blood and the wound was in a hard place to tend to. Still the doctors had given it their all and he was not in immediate danger, but that was for now. The doctors were on full time alert for his sake.

Dash and the family turned to look up as the door open. It was Alex and his siblings they all looked rather distraught but despite that Alex and they all put on small smiles “How is he?” They asked, getting worried and tear filled looks from Danny’s parents and sister who stayed by his side like a babe clings to a mother.

Tucker and Sam both sat opposite to Danny’s family. “Did any of you know how this happened?” Sam asked as she wiped a few stray tears away getting only a sad shake of the head from them. “We only just now got word. We had planned to meet up at a old church to make it safe and ready for a Halloween party. He said he would be back he had to get something.” Inna said moving to look over the bed ridden boy.

Alex moved to add his families flowers to the bundles on the night stand. “Who or what would hurt someone like him?” Leo asked looking down at the pale boy. “Who would hurt him Alex?” He asked looking to the older teen before burying his face in his coat and began to cry. The others also began to lose their control. But Dash blinked Alex wasn’t crying instead the look on his face for a second was one of deep anger and rage almost like he was mad at Danny, but then he saw the eyes he was crying, but he was also angry, at what he couldn’t tell until he turned to look at him. He looked at those eyes and remembered how he had acted as that werewolf, Ofnir was his name then.

‘I wonder how many times he has seen death.’ Dash thought before a nurse came in with a sad face “I’m sorry but you’ll have to leave now.” The entire group gasped and seemed on the verge of arguing but Alex took up the role of peace keeper. “It would be for the best right. What good can we be for him if we allow our lives after today to fall apart in our time of sadness. Would he want us to be like this? No Danny Fenton is strong I know he will pull through one hundred percent! We can’t stop our lives now we must keep going.” He said before turning to his siblings “We will get that party set up and ready. It will be ready for the moment he walks out of here.” The others looked at the boy for a second as if he was mad but then they saw the fear in his eyes he was as afraid as them that Danny may not make it but they also realized he was putting on the show so everyone could save face and also see the truth. Rather he pulled through or not they HAD to keep going if anything for his sake or for his memories sake.

With a heavy heart, everyone began to leave except Dash he had not been cleared to leave the hospital instead he moved to follow the nurse back to his room. He had been cleared to leave to next day.

Still as he left he turned and looked at the boy who he had once scoffed at and made his life miserable. Now he regretted it and prayed deeply the he could be given a second chance, to at least say he was sorry.

+++

Dash looked around nervously, it was past midnight and most of the nurses were done with their runs and were back at their post either getting coffee or chatting about one thing or another.

He slunk around another corner until he reached his goal, Danny Fenton’s room. With a held breath he slowly turned the door knob and entered. As soon as the door closed he felt a pair of furred claws grasp around his mouth and an arm hug him tightly. He froze his eyes filled with fear and panic. Slowly he looked to his side and saw a small fang filled grinning muzzle. “Its Dash, let him go Inna.” Came a whispered voice. He turned about quickly almost falling until another pair of furred claws caught him. He looked up to find a werefox grinning down at him softly. “You worried about him too aye?” Leo asked getting a small nod from Dash who despite the massive shock to him earlier had gotten past caring he was more concerned about Danny now.

“I’m glad you are hear Dash.” Alex said he, Dash looked over to the towering werewolf and blinked he had a look of absolute sadness on his face and muzzle. “What’s wrong?” Dash asked worriedly. “Danny will not live through the night…death has to great a pull on him.” Alex said quietly getting hushed gasp from the others even Dash was shocked and rushed to the wolfs side looking over to see Danny was a little paler and the machines near him were not beeping as fast. “No…no.” Dash clamped his hands over his eyes as fresh tears began to form. “I-I haven’t gotten to tell him…how how sorry I am…for all that I’ve done…I wanted us to be friends…” He said sobbing lightly as he slumped to the floor but found himself stopped by a bat creature who’s eyes also were shedding tears.

“I know sweetie I know.” She whispered gently, cradling the crying teen in her winged arms. He razor sharp claws seeming to flow like gentle wind over his skin as she gently stroked his checks. “There is a path though…that he can take to keep on living….but. It has to be his.” Alex said solemnly and with a heavy sigh he reached over and drove his claws deep into Danny’s chest the sight made Dash almost scream out; why would Alex kill Danny?! His mind raced but then he saw the claws did not cause Danny to bleed but instead they had grabbed something else. It was Danny’s soul…it was Danny Phantom.

“Ouch….hey go easy man…I’m tired.” The ghost whispered rubbing his eyes sleepily. “I know Danny. I know, but this has to be discussed now or there will be no other hope.” Alex stated calmly. “What’s the big problem?” The tired phantom asked his vision stilly blurred. Glancing around and offering a sleep but warm smile to those he saw. “Hey Dash…don’t tell me you came here to see me?” The ghost asked but Dash suddenly burst to his feet and ran over to huger the image before him but only could just grasp the fine mist that was his soul, it felt cold but he gently ran his hand over the spirit looking at him. “OH Danny….please please forgive me for all I have ever done. For being such an idiot” He blubbered out his eyes wet with tears.

The ghost blinked at this and gently places a cold hand on Dash’s check “What’s going on Dash? I don’t understand.” Alex sighed and placed a paw on Danny’s shoulder. That was when Danny’s spirit realized who it was looking at. “Your…you’re the ghost that I meet two weeks ago!” He almost yelled but a firm glare from the werewolf silenced him. “Time to talk about that later, right now I need you to make a decision one that could save your life and allow you to make it through this. If you do not take this path you will die tonight. Death is on its way to take you to the other side.” Alex spoke firmly and calmly getting worried glances from everyone. “What path?” The ghost asked and Alex sighed and turned to Relena who with a small sigh walked up and removed from her wing pocket a small vile full of red fluid.

It was full of blood. “We are natural halfas and there for we also carry certain qualities unlike you and Vlad…who do not have these qualities. We have access to these beast forms…forms humans have for centuries referred to as beast kin. Vampires, werewolves, and all manner of man beasts were in fact halfas who simple chose to stay in their beast state and not harness the potential of their heritage. We are some of the few who have, not only are we like you in ghost form but in these form pose well over a hundred fold the power we have as normal ghost. We also have a faster regenerative ability that in ghost and human form nobody can match.”

Alex sighed breathing calmly as he stepped forward to Danny. “This small amount of blood is more than enough to alter your own, granting you’re the same abilities as us, as well as saving your life. Still the fact remains you have to say yes to this.” The wolf continued with a sad look on his muzzle. “If you chose this path you will have to deal with learning how to control your beast side. “ Alex said and with a small sigh he turned to look at Dash before turning to the spirit of Danny Fenton/Phantom. “What do you say?” The ghost looked at him for a second before he looked to Dash. “What is the down side of this new path?” He asked but a sudden fall in temperature drew them to look towards the window, as a shadowy figure appeared. “At worse, you may lose yourself to your beast side and become a creature who hunts both man and beast, at which point death and eternal rest may be best for you.” Von and Leo rushed at the slowly approaching specter trying to hold him back but each was sent to the floor with one firm blow. “However, rather or not that happens is up to you just as rather or not to take this road is your choice. Just remember regretting on not taking a different road is the same as if it had never existed in the first place. You have to choose now.” Danny took one look down at Dash who was watching the Grunders try and hold back Death.

He looked up to Danny his face full of fear, and sadness. “Please Danny…I-I” That was all he needed. He turned to Alex and nodded “Not choosing is the same as if the choice was never there aye….fine. I’m taking this new road, and deal with what comes!” Alex snapped the vial into the I V in a flash, and as soon as the red fluid began to enter his veins his vitals took one rapid jump and then began to rise more normally, and in that instant Death vanished. Danny Fenton had chosen…he would live through the night.

Danny sighed as he lay in his bed, the machines and all the wires and tubs in his body making their strange sounds. He had been told only a few moments ago that he had been blessed with a merical, he would be free to go in another day or two. His family had been in orbit since the news was given. Of all those who visited Dash seemed the most happy he never strayed far from his side much to the disapproval of Tucker and Sam who stayed with him almost as much as Dash.

Danny closed his eyes and frowned, he could feel it again. It had only been three days since Alex had given him this new road to travel. As a result every now and then since the vial of blood had been given to him he had had a almost burning sensation in his chest and gut almost like he was melting inside. IT was only ever a really annoying nuisance but still it never settled his nerves. “So Danny, can you please tell us what really happened?” Sam asked for the tenth time, or was it the twentieth? He couldn’t tell, but he did know any time Dash left his friends would badger him for answers.

“Come on Danny, its not every day you hear your best friend just got a hole blasted through his gut.” Tucker said with a annoyed look, Danny sighed again and looked away. “Look it’s bad enough I’m in here and I get the same from my family I’d wish you guys would just be a little more easily on me okay. I know I’m lucky to be alive.” He mumbled Sam frowned and stood walking over to the opposite side to again look Danny in the eye. “Please Danny, don’t hold anything from us…we are friends right?” She asked place her hand over his. He shuddered and looked up to her. She felt too warm to him for some reason. “If I tell you will you guys not lose it?”

He asked and they both nodded moving to sit closer to hear his story. “I was going to help the Grunders get their party set up at the old church. However, Vlad, Skulker AND Technus attacked us. I couldn’t let them get hurt so I lead them away but Vlad and the other two idiots would let me get them away they captured me but Dash and them worked together to distract the three of them long enough for me to go Ghost when I fell into a tree.” He turned to look the other way as he worked hard to make the story fit what he and the others had agreed to for this purpose.

“I manage to beat them….barely, only because Dash and the others risked their lives to help Danny Phantom was I able to beat them back…but before they left Vlad zapped me with a neutralizer again and I was stripped of my powers as I shifted back the bastard shot me and close range and I got a hole from it.” Danny sighed at the shocked look on their face, and a click of a door closing made them even more shocked as Dash came in with a small tray. “Hey Danny.” He smiled the other teen smiled weakly, while his two friends stood still in shock.

“Something wrong you two?” Dash asked waving his hand in front of them. “Uhh no…nothing’s wrong.” Tucker stuttered nervously Sam narrowed her eyes at Dash as he moved to help Danny eat his meal. “Tell me Dash why are you being so nice to him all of a sudden?” She asked coldly but before he could answer Danny sat up and grunted “Look can you two lay off him already? Ahhh” Danny slumped back in pain, despite his recovery his nerves still told him it hurt to move the new tissue.

“Danny don’t move like that you’ll only hurt yourself.” Dash said as he moved to ease the other teen back. “As for why I’m being nice you two. Its because I’m trying to make up for my past, is that so wrong?” He asked looking over to them as he adjusted Danny’s bed so he could eat. “No but I find it suspicious. Considering how you treated us before. What brought this change of heart on Dash?” She asked

Danny sighed and mouthed to say something but Dash placed a gently finger over his lips to silence him. “Alex….and his family, since they came here they’ve taught me a lot….and shown me how wrong I was to give in to peer pressure and my own selfish desires. I don’t care about being top any more…I’ll keep working to make the school the best on the field but…off the field I am not going to hurt others just to be popular.” They watched as Dash helped Danny eat slowly and carefully cutting his food and allowing him time to chew and swallow.

“I just….” Tucker stood and walked over to Dash and sighed before he offered his hand. “I’m sorry for earlier Dash….if you’re trying to be friends with Danny, I don’t see why we can’t be friends either.” Dash looked in surprise at Foley but smiled and shook the hand firmly. “Friends, but your still a geek to me Tucker.” He chuckled, the joke getting Danny to laugh as well. Tucker could only blush at the joke but too joined in while Sam only shook her head in amusement.

How things had changed.

How things had changed.

Danny walked slowly around the church as he helped get it ready for the party. Valerie, Paulina and Kwan helped as much as they could while Dash, Alex and the others all did the rest leaving him simple and easy tasks to handle. It was not something he thought he would see the once top popular helping him and his friends prepare for a party.

Everything seemed to have changed, as he looked around. Dash was no longer walking around like a normal jock instead he wore a new jacket one he had been given by Alex. It bore on the back a impressive title that he himself found to be right. “Retter” – Saviour. The word written in Freestyle script and printed in brilliant gold thread, below it showed a sharp looking Knight standing above a slain beast. The colors of the jacket were also nice, a jet black overall with the image and word on the back placed over a white shield shaped field. On his left shoulder like some military insignia a iron cross in gold and on his left breast his name in gold script; this was worn over a normal white T-shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans.

He smiled again looking over at Dash as he and Alex worked to get the sound equipment put to gather on the small handmade stage area. Looking around he saw that the rest of the Grunders were dressed in more normal clothing similar to Alex, and Dash. Well except Leo, he still wore even over his jeans and t-shirt the same bright red fox covered vest. Sam and Tucker both worked on connecting the speakers, and lights to the DJ station. “Okay guys break time!” Danny called out, earning several surprised glances from the others but Alex, and Dash both sighed in relief. “Sounds good to me. You guys wait here I’ll go grab the lunch I made for us.” Alex grinned as he raced out of the old building.

“I wonder what he made us this time.” Von thought aloud, while Paulina and Valerie both exchanged glances at what he could have made. While Sam and Tucker moved to the snack bar table they had turned into a eating area for now. As the group sat down a general topic arouse quickly, what were they going to dress up as? Danny joined them and with a slight cringe sat down with a sigh of relief. Sam smiled and patted his shoulder knowingly while Tucker only chuckled to himself about a joke he must have made in his head. “You doing okay Danny?” She asked, he nodded for her sake; he wasn’t doing to well, he kept getting the annoying burning feeling in his gut still and it was only coming back more frequently and more painfully. “Okay everyone lunch is served.” Came a call drawing Danny and Sam’s attention. Rushing around Alex and Von began to place down the large containers they had brought full of food, most of it still warm and steaming.

Kwan and the others with Dash couldn’t help but exchange worried glances, but Dash of course gave his thanks and removed the top to inspect his meal. It liked like normal chicken and some potatoes and greens to him. While Von placed the meals down for the rest of the Grunder clan Alex brought Danny and his friends their meal. “And here we are. I hope you enjoy it.” He said with a small smile. “OH Danny I’m sure you’ve been not feeling to hot, I think the shake here will make you feel a lot better.” He said quietly as he turned to leave after placing the drinks down.

The Look of the meal was it was fit for a king. In reality it was stupendous, almost beyond words. Alex couldn’t stop himself from blushing to the rallying cry of complements and praises for his cooking. The most grateful was Danny however, after taking his first sip of his shake the pain in his gut had gone away completely. It only ever came back if he ate to much so he ate his meal slowly and more methodically then Sam or Tucker but in time he too found himself in the ranks of the plump and well feed.

The Salads were excellent, both exotic and sweet. The meats and bread were fresh and prepared as if for royalty and the general opinion was nothing like they had ever had before. Sam sighed as she found herself unable to eat another bit of her salad, she had even been helped by Inna who sat beside her and too look more than done. “Okay Alex, its official you’ve out done yourself this time.” Sam muttered numbly before she slumped next to Inna who too groaned softly “Yeah bro….and next time….don’t give us to much, we ladies have an image to maintain.” She said getting a round of laughter from the rest of the gang.

“Well it was more of a dinner then a snack break.” Leo chuckled as he lay against Von’s side looking like a beached whale. “Aye, we have been working so hard we didn’t notice the time.” Relena chimed in looking at her small wrist watch. “Well sports fans I’m beat.” Kwan said with a slight yawn. The jock stood and stretched and sighed as he felt a pop or two from his joints. “Ahh better. Come on guys I say we all turn in for the day. We still got school tomorrow and we all have homework I’m sure.”

Valerie and Paulina both nodded each yawning as they stood up. Von, Leo and Relena gave their votes of agreement. “Okay. You guys head on back to the house I got one or two last connections to make.” Alex said with a small smile as he stood to gather up the now empty containers and drink packs.

“Okay, we’ll see you at home bro.” Leo said as he jumped to his feet and made for the door. Inna gave a warm good bye to Sam as she moved to join Relena and Von. “See ya later Sam.” She cooed causing Sam to blush slightly but waved her goodbye to her friend. “I think she likes you Sam.” Tucker whispered, earning a firm death glare from the Goth. “I’ll see you two later, I need to talk more with Alex about the party.” Danny sighed as he stretched the pain in his stomach gone. ‘Just like the big guy said.’ He thought with a small grin.

“You sure you’ll be alright Danny?” Sam asked “Yeah I’ll be fine, its not like I’m going to get attacked by ghosts or something.” He mentally slapped himself he had not meant to say that. Sam and Tucker both exchanged worried glances but chose to head home as it was getting late and the ride home would not be a short one. “Alright Danny if your sure. Don’t hesitate to call us if you need help or something okay.” Tucker smiled as he grabbed his pack and small scooter. “I will be careful guys. You know as well as I there are more than people on the streets at night.” Sam and Tucker both nodded. “Okay Danny, see you tomorrow.” They both waved and moved to leave heading out the front door to the dirt road away from the church.

“Finally…I was worried they would never leave.” Alex sighed in relief, both nodded in agreement. They followed the other teen as he headed towards the back of the church. “So what is it you wanted to talk to us about?” Danny asked. Glancing about at the various things they had cleaned out from the main area. “Do you remember what I told you the night death was upon you?” He asked, turned to Danny who visibly stiffened but nodded “Yeah, you told me I’d be traveling down a new road.”

Alex nodded and turned “You would have to learn to control what lurked inside you. You would have to learn to live with your instincts which would now be set free.” Alex suddenly shifted into his ghost form. “I have over the last few days felt a developing feeling between you two. Call it instinct or a hunch but I believe I alone can’t hope to help you harness your new potential.” Dash blinked looking to Alex “what do you mean?” Alex smiled grimly behind his black mask. “Tonight will be the starting point to the Full Moon, which I have only just remembered will appear on Friday the anointed time for the party. You see one small thing we Grunders have come to accept is that every full moon we are unable to stay in our human forms, our beast are to strong on such nights and to fight them would result in great harm to ourselves. Despite the fact I would wish otherwise your first transformations will not truly be of your own choice. “ Alex sighed as he continued “Dash I’ll need your help, no both myself and Danny will need you if we are to get his new form under control.”

“Under control?” Danny asked nervously. “Yes, not all of us had a easy first time changing, some more so than others. I do not expect yours to be any worse or better than ours. For safety that’s why I asked you to stay. Your first transformation will be tonight, so I felt it best that I and Dash stay by your side and have you away from your family.”

Danny looked at Alex with worry but saw that he too was unsure. This was something he had never planned for or experienced…this was new to him. Just at that moment the sun set, and his world changed once again.

To Dash and Alex the change erupted out of nowhere, and was done in an instant. To Danny Fenton however the change was an eternity within an eternity. He felt as his body sudden shifted to ghost form, and from there it continued. His suit with his symbol was shredded as his mass changed. The energy rending the material away from his flesh, as his skin was exposed he could feel as it too changed. Danny could feel the fur that began to cover his body, the fusing of bones and the shifting of other bones.

He wanted to scream, but he couldn’t move his jaw as it rearranged and changed in shape and size, his tongue told him of his new dental ware. He could feel his ears shift from the side of his head to a more erect position on top of his head. He suddenly he could hear, see, smell, and feel the world as the reality of earth came back to him. It was too much his new fused three fingered claws clenched into fists as he fell to his knees. He could feel the guest from the energy surge rush over his fur, and his new leathery membrane spread along his arms. He wanted to scream again as the change ended and all fell silent. He looked around his vision now seemingly sharp, he could also hear something….it was a heartbeat, two heart beats. Looking around he could see Alex and Dash standing in front of him looks of shock and surprise written into their faces. “Guys?”

His world had changed yet again. Still with this change he had been given a second chance. As he had been told a road not taken is no different than if the road have never appeared. He had chosen to take the new road, and now he would have to learn to deal with the results for better or for worse Danny Fenton was now a nu – halfa. A human, ghosts, and beast hybrid.

Okay that was the second chapter. For those who are curious about what Danny, Inna, and Relena look like can click the link below. Their new shapes are based on the Cepn a race of bat anthros from Ollie Canals Rym World rpg. Here is a decent picture showing how Danny basically looks…..I advise if nobody can stomach nude furs not to look.
