Paranormal Geniosity1

Chapter 1 spectral analysis2

It was a particularly quiet evening in the US city of Retroville. Most of its citizens were nestled in their residencies, preparing to watch late night television or send their children to bed. Some were already asleep, dreaming of tomorrow or any sort of fantasy the human mind was capable of conjuring. One household in particular remained lit, wherein Hugh Neutron and Judy Neutron were nestled upon the couch in their living room, cuddling and watching reruns of 'To Duck or not to Duck? A Documentary of local ducks and other fowl' that Hugh Neutron had videotaped for his own convince. As Hugh pointed out each breed of duck with much enthusiasm, Judy giggled and observed her goofy husband, but glanced at the stairwell from time to time, her motherly instincts on alert for any mischief her certified genius of a son would create. Sighing, she turned her deep emerald eyes back to the glowing screen, but knew she would spring into action at a moment's notice of anything suspicious, for she knew her son, and her son knew she would catch him red-handed. 3

Out in the twilight covered backyard, approximately 6 feet underground, was Jimmy. He was busily scanning various items of interest and objects for his latest invention. Determination was valid within his bright sapphire eyes as his fingers flew over the central keyboard rigged to Vox, his beloved hand built computer system. Around him, thrumming with energy and life were his inventions, glistening in all their mechanical and chrome glory. The rejects were shoved to the very back of his clubhouse/lab, broken wires sticking out at distorted angles and bits of spark still flying from the ends of some. 4

On the far left wall, in a dome like outlet laid Goddard, Jimmy's first invention and the only pet he ever made and owned. His recharge reaching 100% capacity, the robotic dog rose with a whirr of his mechanical limbs then inched towards Jimmy, sleep fogging his circuits a little bit. He pawed at Jimmy's hand and whined, reminding his master of the much needed sleep that humans needed every night. "Oh Goddard I know. It's just I need to recalculate the protocols of the Neuron Efficiency Molecular Contractor. It's not going to assemble its self you know." 5

"Grr Bark Bark! Whirr Bark!" 6

"Yeah yeah...Just a minute more okay boy?" Jimmy managed to brush off Goddard and continued his progress, knowing he was a mere 60% away from completion and his goal of achieving astral travel while conscious, something that any psychologist would give an arm and a leg for. Jimmy smiled, thinking of the possibilities and the little bit of mischief he could cause with the NMC. 7

~~~~~~ Elsewhere in another Dimension, Amity Park 10 minutes to Midnight~~~~~~8

"DANNY! LOOKOUT!!"A young girl with raven black locks and striking violet eyes, currently looking alarmed exclaimed to her friend flying above her head.9

"Eh-EYAH!!" A white haired spectral youth exclaimed as he narrowly missed the lash of musical inferno that would have easily cleaved off his head if it hadn't been for the warning his Gothic chick of a best friend had yelled out. 10

"Woah...."Danny looked at the large molten crater the strike had left in the Cresty Toothpaste Billboard overlooking the freeway on the far right. Before him ghosted an enraged Gothic punk rocker spirit by the name of Ember. Her crimson eyes blazed with a mixture of loathe and smug amusement as she witnessed Danny's growing panic. 11

"So you like my new strings huh? I had them customized just for you." Ember purred.12

"Wow really? And here I thought you only catered to your most die hard fans." Danny replied with much sarcasm.13

"Oh I do....for you are my biggest fan Danny. In fact, this next song I dedicate entirely to you. I call it....the 'Boy DESTROYER!' YAHHHH!!!" Ember yelled while strumming 6 of the 8 strings of her ax head. Danny weaved out of the way of the blast, then looked about him, making sure Sam and Tucker were still safe. 14

"Heh so I take it this song was a hit? Because apparently it's causing enough unnecessary craters alone. Oh I get it, it's a One Hit wonder!" Danny jeered, smirking.15

"Mock me all you want you dejected crossbreed ghost slime. I haven't even had to use all 8 strings yet."Ember countered, her own smirk growing.16

"Ooo! Scary! Maybe I'll get some popcorn while I wait!"17

"ARGH! That tears it! Your ghost is HELLFIRE TOAST PHANTOM!!" She unleashed a roar and strummed all 8 strings at once, causing her body to become engulfed with her own spectral flames. 18

Danny tensed, a cold sweat forming on his brow. He had never seen her attack in such a fashion before, and whatever was the result of this current occurrence, it wouldn't be anything good. Tucker and Sam at that moment peeked out from behind the rusted old scrap metal trailer they took refuge behind and their eyes widened in unison. 19

"Danny?? What the heck is going on?" Sam exclaimed while Tucker attempted to scan Ember. 20

"Man I can't lock onto her at all! I think those flames are causing her to transform or something. Heh Transformers...I miss that show."21

"Tucker you can geek out later. I need to know what's going on befor-" Danny's words were cut off as hands of dark bluish fire snaked their way around his chest.22

"Gotcha ghost boy." Ember hissed into Danny's ear. Her body had indeed undergone an alarming metamorphosis. Her hair was much longer and danced about her in vicious blue and black flames. Her arms were scaled and had rocker spikes growing out at sharp angles. The light blue of her eyes were replaced by a pitch black, her own crimson irises burning like hellfire from the pits. Her outfit remained the same, but was a bit ravaged and torn in slightly distracting areas. Overall, she radiated a dark ghostly ethereality that made Danny cringe a bit. 23

"Um er nice outfit. You lose a bet?" Danny managed, knowing it would piss her off and he could get away from her. Her eyes slit in anger and she swatted at his face with flame engulfed claw like fingers. "UWAH!! Geez! Put those things away before you gouge an eye out!" 24

"Don't worry Phantom...the only eyes that will bleed and boil will be yours. You're overdue for a cremation ghost boy." Ember growled.25

"Aww and here I thought you were 'warming up' to me."26

"DIE PHANTOM!!" Ember viciously roared and screamed at the same time, both at earsplitting intervals nevertheless. Her guitar distorted into an actual fusion between a guitar and an ax as she launched herself at Danny, her weapon poised to kill. Danny did his best to put some distance between himself and her conflagration of doom, having to launch his own counter strikes. Bolts of bluish black and green spectral flames ricocheted back and forth, like a high stakes, life endangering ping pong match. 27

"Danny I've got a lock! Aim for the skull on her guitar ax blade! That should knock her down for the count!" Tucker shouted to his friend, his fingers clutched tightly around his prized customized tech pod while Sam watched the skirmish, worry evident in her deep violet eyes. 28

"Gotcha...Hey DRAMA QUEEN!! Bet you couldn't hit the broadside of a stage light!!" Danny taunted. Ember hissed and tore after Danny, her Ax headed guitar swinging down with increasing speed to hit its mark. Taking a gamble, Danny allowed the ax to plunge into his shoulder. He yelped in pain as Ember smirked. 29

"So what was that bit about hitting a stage light Phantom?" 30

"Oh did I say stage light? I meant a barn."31

Ember clenched her teeth and ripped out the blade from Danny's shoulder then poised to strike him down. A loud CRACK issued from her guitar as the entire thing broke apart, its pieces raining down around them. Ember was frozen in shock for a second, and then lunged at Danny, her claw like hands attempting to strangle the life out of him. He only smiled in satisfactory as he pulled out the Fenton thermos and sucked her into oblivion. 32

"EYAAAAAHHHHH" She shrieked and pulled against the vacuum like force, but to no avail. Closing the lid as the last of her screams died down, Danny descended back to the earth, landing on his feet and alternated between rubbing his throat and his injured shoulder. 33

"Danny!" "Danny!!!" Tucker and Sam came running, both looking relieved and concerned all at once. 34

"Man it's getting tougher to make it through these fights without pain. Oww don't touch it Tucker!"35

"You know, your parent's won't be happy about this." Tucker commented, wincing at his friend's shoulder wound. It wasn't too deep, but it still looked pretty bad. 36

"Tucker's right Danny. Maybe you shouldn't taunt them so much you know?" Sam added. Danny sighed and closed his eyes, his body glowing slightly as he altered back to his original human form. "Will you both chill? I know it won't be easy, especially with all this blood, but I will find an excuse and get some treatment for it ok?" 37

"Fine whatever." Sam huffed, apparently irritated with his reasoning. 38

"I'm going on ahead. My parents will so murder me if they find out I'm gone and I would have to kiss my baby goodbye." Tucker told the two, cradling his tech pod as if it were a child, earning a joint groan and eye roll from both Danny and Sam. 39

"Just go Tucker. I'll be fine, promise." Danny assured him.40

"Oh you better. It would seriously suck if something ever happened to you Danny. Right Sam?"41

"Well obviously. We'd all be overrun with spooky freaks and not to mention I-" She stopped herself, looking at Danny, and then looked away. 42

"You what Sam?" Danny asked her, his eyes wide with slight confusion.43

"Ah nothing. Forget it it's not important." 44

"Um....Ok then. We need to get going. I think I'm starting to get dizzy." 45

"Ah! Right, let's go." With that, Sam supported Danny's injured arm on her back, slinging the arm over her left shoulder. The two then left the park, failing completely to notice the stray spectral orb that had escaped from the thermos and followed them. 46

About 2 hours later and a punishment induced lame fest for Danny, he was up in his room, mulling over the complications his sentence of being grounded for 2 weeks would cause. Sam had gone home after she brought Danny back, sensing the storm that would soon occur behind closed doors. A storm it was indeed, one Danny thought would never end as both his mother and older sister Jasmine lectured him and raved about him being out past curfew, then flipping out about his shoulder wound, an issue only made worse by his clueless and haphazard dad volunteering to treat the wound while scanning it for any ghostly infliction. 47

"Ugh....why can't my family be normal...Why can't my entire life be NORMAL??" Danny sighed; his exasperated question would only fall upon silent ears. "Man that stunt Ember pulled really threw Tucker's gadgets for a loop....If only there was some foolproof way to hack through ghostly energy...Heh, yeah like anyone would know how to do that or find a way to. Only Tucker is smart enough to come up with something....Ah I might as well sleep now...Maybe I'll wake up when the warrants decide to release me..." Danny muttered as his bright blue eyes slowly closed. 48

Meanwhile, the spectral orb ghosted through his home, locating the basement and the ghost portal in turn. Finding the central circuitry, the orb burned itself into the machine and entered the Ghost Zone. It wandered about, and then came upon a rift of distorted proportions, one that indicated that it hadn't been there before, nor did it belong there either. The orb floated towards said rift, and as if beckoned by a compelling force of some sort, it flitted through and came out in the backyard of a 3Dimensional world.49

~~~~~~~~~~Retroville, backyard of the Neutron Residency, Jimmy Neutron's lab 1 minute to Midnight~~~~~~~~~50

"Ah finally! Only 1.995% percent until the Neuron Efficiency Molecular Contractor will be ready for trial! Goddard ready the Dreamevelator, I want this to be a truly exhilarating experience!" 51

"Whirr BARK!" Goddard replied as he pulled up a small bed, big enough for Jimmy to fit into and a visor allowing for complete relaxation, natural sleep and the increase of the REM stage to prolong the effects of any dream Jimmy would have. 52

"3...2...1...Eureka! Stabilization complete and ready for use." Jimmy smiled with glee evidently excited about this particular invention testing sequence. "Alright Goddard, on my cue, attach the NMC to the main ion of the Dream Visor 3000. If it starts to pulsate after I fall asleep, run a holoscan to make sure my mind has successfully astral traveled. I'm counting on you boy *yawn*" Jimmy said, already feeling tired despite his eagerness. He then commenced to lay down on the bed Goddard had set up, and then slid on the DV3000. "Ok Goddard. Remember, it needs to pulse 3 times to indicate my mind is in Dream mode. The NMC should take care of the astral traveling part." He smiled then laid still while Goddard waited for his master to fall asleep and the DV to take effect. 53

While the robotic animal was distracted, the orb had found its way into the lab and trained its energy upon Jimmy's aura. It puzzled at his inactive state, while Goddard attached the NMC and waited for the blue lights to pulsate. The orb waited as well, seeming to look from the robotic dog to the human lying motionless and asleep. It then discovered the pulsating glow and making up its mind, it dove straight into the heart of the DV3000 and the NMC. Goddard yelped as the NMC sparked a little, but carried out the process Jimmy asked him to do nonetheless, hoping it was just a small mishap. 54

Jimmy's eyes glowed a strange blue in his astral form as he traveled from dream to dream, gazing at the wonder all around him. 55

"Wow, so this is what it feels like to be awake in one's own dreams...It's great!! I hope the holoscan is going well." 56

He flew onwards, coming upon a large green, flaming sun. He stopped for a moment, thinking it odd how his dreams brought to him a sun of such a hue. The sun seemed to become larger and larger until it swallowed Jimmy into its expanse. Jimmy screamed, feeling as if he were being burned alive, yet knew he wasn't in any logical sense. He then attempted to escape, but only managed to become more entrapped in the nightmarish green flames. He stiffened as the flames morphed into cackling faces that seemed to mock him and took glee in his increasing pain. He cried out and wacked at the flames, then paled when the flames burned strange green markings into his arms, then causing the skin to burst into the same type of fire that surrounded him. In desperation, he called for Goddard, hoping his companion would somehow wake up his mind and save him from this fiery inferno. 57

Goddard whined as Jimmy's body began to shake uncontrollably, as if trying to expel something. He barked and tried to nudge the visor off of his master, only to get knocked back by an alarming force of some sort. The robot stood back to its feet and shook its head, then through cracked lenses witnessed as Jimmy thrashed about, then screamed and fell silent. 58

"Goddard...." Jimmy whispered as his dream ate him, and pulled him into oblivion.59
