Disclaimer standards apply I don't own Danny Phantom or Yugioh but I do own Jessamine and Ann Marie.
A/N: I know I'm finally updating, but its like I said in chapter one chapters may come a few days apart or months or even years apart. So bear with me cause I can only write when inspiration hits me, and seeing as how I've been inspired to work on some other stories this one took a back seat for a while. I'll update as fast as I can, and thanks to anyone who will review or has reviewed in the past.
Chapter 7
Hours passed and still no sign from Danny or Ann. Mattie begun to grow worried as did Tucker and Sam. Jessamine and Yuugi still hadn't changed back from the people they had seemingly had transformed into and of chores they still had to explain the full extent of the power that was around their necks from the items they each held. An evening storm had come and now it was poring down rain the drops hammering against the home as the wind picked up acting as if it itself could knock down the huge mation on its own. "I'm getting worried Jack. The kids haven't called ever since they had gone on that mission." Mattie informed her husband.
"Don't worry Danny is a strong boy he will be just fine, and that Ann girl knows things about this time that no one else has learned yet." Jack replied hard at work perfecting another ghost hunting tool.
"I suppose your right but I'm still worried." Mattie repeated knowing her husband wasn't going to give in until he had completed his project.
While Mattie tried to convince Jack to come in with her The newly transformed Jessamine and Yuugi were explaining to Tucker and Sam a little bit more about themselves Jue and the others already knowing what their friends were capeable of doing and knowing more about the power of an item as they put it then they really wanted to know. They had introduced themselves as Queen Cynthia and Pharaoh Atemu from an acient past that occurred over 5000 years ago. "So if what you are saying is true, then that means that Danny and Ann may be in danger?" Sam asked suddenly worried about Danny after hearing about it was possible for a person to be connected to another through forces yet to be explained, by recounting what had happened with Pegasus and Duelist Kingdom.
"That's right, Ann may be hurt and Jessamine and Yuugi could have physically felt it being that in the future she is their Daughter." Atemu explained.
"We cant count for Danny though, but I'm sure that he is fine." Cynthia added.
"So if Danny was hurt, Tucker or I could feel it possibly?" Sam asked the whole idea not making anything easier.
"Yes, that is quite possible. The bound you had established as friends exceeds everything else and even if you were angry with each other at this point and time you would still most likely feel it." Atemu continued explaining as Joey shuttered at the memories of Duelist Kingdom.
"So what can we do now?" Tristan asked, "I'm sure Danny's mom and or dad are getting worried." He added pointing to a wall clock.
"I'd say wait and see, but judging on what had happened to our counter parts, we need a way back to Domino." Cynthia commented.
"But who do we know that could give us a ride?" Joey asked remembering all to well what had happened the last time he asked Kaiba for a lift back during the time they were stuck out west.
"A ride isn't a problem, involving way to many people is." Sam commented. "I've got access to any form of transportation, but not even Danny's parents are licensed to operate any of it." Sam reminded everyone.
"So that takes us back to square one." Joey said with a frustrated sigh as he looked over at his friends wondering if any one of them had any ideas. Tea had come out of hiding, but since she didn't want to except that Jessamine and Yuugi loved each other and wasn't ready to give up her crush, she just stayed out of it.
Meanwhile back in Domino or what was left of it, Danny flew through the rubble remains of the city in search of her. The sky still was that same blood red color as it had been and Danny knew that wasn't going to change any time soon. "I am the box ghost, and I have a message for you Danny Phantom!" an all too fibular voice cried out over the crowd of ghosts and bandaged freaks that walked amongst the wreckage.
"Look I don't have time for this." Danny all but growled as he reached behind his back only to remember that he didn't have the famous ghost catching tube also known as the Fenton thermos which was sitting on the couch at Sam's place.
"Oh but I think you do…for I know where your girlfriend is being kept." The box ghost informed which earned him a death glear form Danny who did not believe the annoying creature.
The sound of her heart beating seemed to be the only sound as it echoed in her ears. Her head pounded and stung pain starting from it seemingly to branch out in all directions. No light was in the room save for a light burning fire in one single corner from a torch hung high above the room. She tried to stand move run something, but her arms and legs had failed her ten times over. Her back stung as cool air wipped around her and blood trickled freely from her wounds. Despertially she tried frantically to get herself out of the trap, but with little to no luck as the chains binding her only cut and dug into her skin more rivers of blood running down the length of her arms "Danny where are you ?" she called in both English and Japanese knowing that he could only speak English and out of habit she had slipped into Japanese.
"he is not here just yet, but you will see him soon, and your trust will be completely broken." Came a strange voice as a whip of some kind cracked on her exposed back her own scream filling her ears seconds later.
"She spat at the man's face when he forced her face to his hissing with every word she spoke. "I have faith in Danny, and I know he will come back for me."
Your faith sickens me girl…. And your trust will soon be broken." The man replied dropping her causing her neck to pop slightly with a jolt of pain.
Tears started to form in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed them. Who ever this was, wasn't going to get the chance to see how much pain she was in. The whip cracked endlessly on her back the snapping echoing through the room before she passed out. Only then did the pounding stop her exposed black covered with her blood no trace of her original skin color remaining.
Two men slammed her body against a stone table her bones cracking as they hit. Her hands and feet were latched to it spread open and all remaining traces of clothing removed. The room was then plunged into darkness the only sounds were Ann's labored breathing, and the drip of her blood spilling onto the floor in small puddles.
Outside Danny searched for her but with little to no luck. He had ignored the box ghost not feeling he could really trust him due to the fact that that ghost seemed to have nothing in his head. A small light caught his eye and he flew to it only to be caught off guard and knocked out of the sky.
Upon hitting his head Danny lost control of his ghost powers and his human formed returned. The same creatures that Took Ann away were now holding him with an Iron death grip. He had already lost the battle to stay awake, so his captors had no trouble chaining him up in the darkness. He groaned waking a few minutes later struggling to get free from his bonds finding that he wasn't able to so easy. It was then he noticed he was still in human form and the force of the blow must have knocked him out.
Transforming he tried to phase out of the trap, but discovered he couldn't quite hold a transformation. Someone or something was controlling his every move and he was powerless to do anything about it Despite the throbbing pain he continued trying until someone entered the room. "I don't know who you are, but you had better let me and Ann go!" He yelled as he tried once again to stay in ghost form.
"Oh I don't think so. I will break your lover's faith and trust, and you my boy are going to do it for me." The voice laughed.
"I would never do such a thing you hear me now let us go!" Danny countered trying to get free once again only to have the chains tighten themselves tighter around his wrist.
"I think you will." He laughed evily before all went dark again vanishing in the light only to reappear controlling Danny's mind two servants cutting the boy free.
Meanwhile back in the USA the shoreline was starting to meet the same fate as Japan as structures started crumbling and vichels stop working. Needless to say it didn't take long for the events to hit local news and the Internet those being the two quickest ways of providing media to the masses.
Just as the Pharaoh and his whife had predicted, the instant something happened to Danny Tucker and Sam seemed to feel it. It wasn't quite the same as the connection that Cynthia and the pharaoh had shared, but it was still there. Like Joey and Tristin had felt, that feeling of dred along with a sharp sting in or near their hearts. "That feeling you described.." Sam started… "Was it like a sharp stab to the heart?" she asked suddenly.
"Yeah, why what is wrong?" Tea asked putting on a fake smile pretending she cared about what was going on.
"Then something has happened to Danny." Sam announced.
Everyone turned and looked at her different expressions written on their faces. Some of them had shock while some had understanding. "We are running out of time." Tucker said flipping on the news reports flying in as more and more cities and states fell over due to this dangerous mad man or woman. Atamu stood holding Cynthia close. "Then its time to fight back." He decared.
