Chapter 3: Chapter 3

"Going Ghost"

Two rings went through his body and he transformed into his ghost form. His clothes had a large P on it instead of the standard DP. Working with Clockwork, he can choose any type of clothe which would transform with him. Even Armor. Anything electrical was however short-circuited.

Stepping towards one of the cell, someone within saw him and began gesturing to a button on the side of the cell. Getting the idea, Danny stepped forward and pressed the button. The shield for that particular cell dissipated.

A bald woman stepped forward pushing out from among the other prisoners, her entire body covered with tattoos barely wearing a bikini, and asked Daniel." Who the fuck are you and how did you get out?"

Daniel answered with a bow. "Call me Phantom. My lady." Danny said with a mock bow. " As you can see, I am not exactly human. Should you not introduce yourself as well?"

Danny had learned his lesson. He was not gonna name himself Danny Phantom. That was too close to his real name Daniel Fenton. Better to be known as Phantom instead.

Giving him an intense glare. " Call me Jack, shit stain." Glaring at him. "I did not see any white haired brats over here that were what almost human."

Danny raising his hand in mock surrender told her, "I have a habit of slipping past detection". Danny began to flicker in and out of existence. Appearing and disappearing before Jack.

"Neat trick". Her eyes went to her cuffed hands. An expression of rage came over her face. "Fucking Biotic Suppressors", She said as she began to attempt to smash the cuffs on the edge of the container in an attempt to get out of them.

Danny watched the scene in surprise, before he fired an Ecto Ghost ray from his eyes destroying the biotic suppressors. Curious to know what these biotics were.

Throwing the suppressors away. Jack Cackled madly ,"Hahahahaha, I don't care. What I do care about is some payback." Jack started to glow blue with power. Stepping towards the door leading outside, she raised her hand. A biotic blast originated from it which began to crush the door, eventually leaving it as a crumpled ball.

"I just released a maniac, did I not." Danny said to himself.

Steeping inside the cage, he asked the people inside," Can you guys open the other cells nearby and stay here."

After getting a few nods of agreement, Danny started to leave when suddenly his hand was held.

"Please wait, the Bartarians took a Quarian with them. Overheard them talking about the drive core malfunctioning and needing a quarian to look at it."

So now Danny had a Quarian to rescue as well. Hearing the sounds of fighting upstairs, Danny was not sure who he would be rescuing the Quarian from.

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

It had been sometime since Jack had run away from Cerberus facility. All the images, the experiments, they still hunted her to this day. She had exacted swift vengeance, killing every other guard and scientist. She was the only survivor there. Anger, Hatred alot of emotions clouded her mind. She had used drugs to forget the pain. That had been her moment of rest. Eventually, she had found a few friend or people she thought were her friends. Instead, they worked for slavers.

They had been smart, preying on her vulnerabilities. Getting her to drop her guard with them, overdosing her with drugs and then selling her off when she was unconcious. When, she gets her hands on them. She will rip them apart. Her captors had mocked her when she said that her friends will look for her, telling her that they were one of their major suppliers.

She raised a biotic shield as a few Bartarian managed to regroup and started started to fire upon her. She began to step towards them.

"What is she?" a bartarian cried. As one of his companion was thrown against the wall and his innards became outies. The ship did need a new paintjob. Maybe red would be good. She thought idly as she used the body of one of the bartarian as a shield.

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

After asking one of the prisoners, Danny began to move towards the Drive Core.

"She is heading toward the bridge, I repeat, she is heading toward the bridge. requesting....." A bartarian said, just as he was puched in the face and went limp. His companions began to fire at Danny who simply went intangible. The rounds went through him and Danny began to lay down his own brand of hurt.

Using a combination of ghost rays, Danny began to go through the ranks of the slavers. If he was fired upon, he went intangible. If someone got near him, he punched them. His own super-strength made short work of anyone he faced. Danny found himself in a corridor. He did not get the time to react as he was ambushed, a knife slash heading towards his back. Someone had hid behind the door. Two people infront of him firing at the same time. Grabbing the hand of the guy stabbing jim, he used it as a launch point to somersault behind his attacker. The rounds impacted the bartarian killing him, Charging ectoblasts, he took care of the remaining two slavers.

Kenn was a simple quarian, just recently he had left on his pilgrimage. There was a reason that he had no last name. He and his mother were virtually outcasts. His mother had believed that quarians should try to have a talk with geth. If that was not bad enough, she had attempted to make contact with a stolen ship by breaching the Perseus Veil. Both of them had been exiled from the migrant fleet.

He loved his mother afterall, so he followed her. Life was hard but it was worth living. She taught him plenty. He learned on the job with her. But time passed and eventually even she passed away. She had only one wish that her son could one day be able to build a home on their home planet. She admitted to him that the migrant fleet just surviving and she feared that after a certain point, it would not be possible to fight for their home. Even if they won, the losses would be too great and every single quarian to them is essential. That is why she hoped to contact the geth.

"A war", she said, "Needs two side to be fought and both are often guilty of crimes."

As she passed away, and Kenn took care of the cremation, he was informed that he was not exiled anymore. His exile had lifted with his mother's death. He was told to depart on his his pilgrimage and after returning he may get a last name. But he wondered if he would ever feel as if he is home.

Nevertheless, he had been offered a high paying job that he could not refuse. But it was all a trap. He had found himself in a cage with other prisoners when he had been told to fix the ship drive.

Dragged out of his cell, he had worked on the core at a slow pace in the hopes that someone may free them no matter how small it is. If the ship reached any of the hegemony controlled sectors, no one would be able to help them.

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

"We lost contact with the reinforcement sent to the bridge."

"You two secure the door." Ordering his men, he then turned his gun at the Quarian. "Allright, you suit-rat, It has been a fucking week and you havenot fixed the drive. I will fucking crack your mask open. Maybe, that will motivate you to work harder."

"Thats not very nice" A disembodied voice said. Panicking the leader tried to look around when a crack was heard. He was hit on the head and slumped on the ground not getting up again. A boy with toxic green eyes in front of the quarian. Before the guards could get an opportunity to turn on him. They both were hit by a ghost ray, one each. Both of them went down.

Seeing the action of the strange individual infront of him, Kenn panicked and brought the spanner in his hand forward to defend himself.

"You know that you will require more then a piece of metal to defend yourself right." Danny said with a a hint of amusement. "Names Phantom. What's yours?"

"Kenn, I am called Kenn." The quarian replied. Yet he did not bring the spanner down. One of the guards began to get up. A thonk echoed in the room. A whack to the head from the Quarian and the guard went down again. "I think it works perfectly fine."

"So, what are you supposed to be?", Kenn asked.

"Well, name's Phantom, Part-time superhero and all-time badass. At your service." Danny gave a bow towards the Quarian.

''So, not the alliance."

"Nope. Listen to me man, I need to bounce. Lots of baddies to put down. Get the engine's revving will you. I will signal you as soon as the ship is clear." Saying that, Danny phased through the floor. Moving towards the direction, he can hear the most explosions from.

Kenn continued to look indecorously as he saw the self-titled superhero move through the floor as if it does not exist. Checking his suit's bio-readings to make sure that he has not gotten a fever or is delirious or maybe on some drugs.

'Nothing's wrong. Maybe I am dreaming. Yeah.' Kenn thought to himself as he went back to the console. Cycling power through the drive core, he began to start the restart process for the drive core. 'Most of these problems that can be solved by turning things on and off and no-one ever tries it. They need to call some poor schmuck like me to do it. Well as long as they pay me.'
