First thing I wanna do is remind people that this entire story is NOT to be considered part of my fake season four story line. It is the original version of the updated version which can be seen on my profile. Anything read in this story should NOT be considered part of the story line I have written, even if some elements have been carried over into the other stories. It's main purpose is so readers can compare the older version to the newer one.
No elements from this chapter have been carried over into new or updated stories, and it is unlikely that any ever will.
Chapter 1- Returning the Infi-Map:
The Monday morning after launching their ghostly enemies far off into space; Danny, Danielle, Jazz and Kim all lay asleep in the Fenton's living room after dozing off from watching a scary movie on TV the night before.
Popcorn lay all over the floor because at sometime during the night they had gotten into a popcorn fight. The TV was still on, although the volume had been turned down so it could barely be heard.
The light from the flickering TV woke up Danny who was lying on the couch with his feet propped up on the coffee table in front of the couch. He stretched his arms above his head and yawned as he woke up.
"5:30 in the morning?" he asked himself as he looked at a clock on the living room wall that could only be seen with the light of the flickering TV. "Getting up this early is new for me. Well we got school today so better get ready now while I'm awake," he said to himself as he attempted to lean up, but couldn't.
Something was holding him down. He looked across the room and saw that Jazz was sleeping in the arm chair with Danielle curled up into a ball in her lap. He then looked down to see Kim was lying on the couch next to him. He started to feel a little uncomfortable when he realized she had one of her arms draped across his chest and her hand was resting on his shoulder.
It was at this time that she woke up as he tried to move her arm off of him so he could get up. "Waa?" she asked groggily as she began to wake up. She blinked a couple of times before looking up to see Danny looking back at her nervously. "Morning Danny," she said sleepily before he rolled her off him and onto the floor. "YAAH!" she screamed as she fell to the floor. "What was that for?" she asked him quietly so as to not wake the others.
"You fell asleep on top of me last night," he told her as he made his way into the kitchen. He looked out the window only to see darkness because the sun hadn't risen yet. He slowly made his way into the kitchen and got himself a glass of water from the sink.
As he filled his cup with water, Kim came into the kitchen and started making a pot of coffee. "You know…I just realized that today is your sixteenth birthday," she said as she walked over to the sink and filled the coffee pot with water.
Danny drank from his glass of water and nodded in response. It had been nearly two years since he got his ghost powers. He got them at the beginning of his freshman year of high school, and now his sophomore year was almost over. Only another month of school and he would be free for another summer. It was an exciting time for Jazz as well because she would be graduating from high school in another month as well.
"Now you can start taking a late Driver's ED class with Mr. Lancer," she informed him as she started to brew the coffee.
"I know," he responded. "That's why Sam and Tucker have been waiting for me to turn sixteen, so we could all take the class together." It turned out that Sam and Tucker had already been sixteen for a few weeks now. They were just waiting for Danny to catch up so they could take the last class of the year together.
While Kim was busy with the coffee brewer, Danny walked out of the kitchen and walked upstairs to the op-center. He walked out onto the roof and looked off towards the horizon.
A few minutes later Kim walked up behind him and offered him a cup of coffee. She had two with her and he took the one she had offered to him. "Thanks," he said as he took it and looked back towards the horizon.
Kim leaned on the guard rail of the op-center next to Danny as they both watched the sunrise off in the distance. "Sunrises are always beautiful," Kim said as the sky turned pinkish orange, and the sun started to rise over a distant mountain.
"I've never seen one," Danny informed her as he took a drink from the coffee mug Kim had given him.
"You've never seen the sunrise before?" she asked him. "Why?"
"I've never gotten up this early before," he told her. "Why I'm up right now is a complete mystery to me."
"Well you should get up early more often then," she said softly. "Seeing the sunrise always brings me good luck. Maybe it can do the same for you." After a few more minutes of watching the sun rise, Kim decided she was going to go take a shower and get ready for school in a few more hours. "See you in a little bit Danny," she said before she kissed him on the cheek and walked back inside, leaving a bewildered Danny standing outside.
He shook his head to shake off what just happened, but couldn't get it out of his head. He had known Kim liked him, but she was getting just a little too into it now.
He continued to watch the sun as it rose higher into the sky. "Watching the sunrise brings her good luck," he said to himself before taking a sip from his coffee mug. "I wonder," he thought out loud as if contemplating something drastic that could change his way of life.
About an hour later, the rest of the family was awake and eating breakfast in the kitchen. Jack had finished eating and was now using a small device to weld a mechanical device that looked like a watch. Maddie had also finished eating and was now reading the newspaper. Danielle was playing a game on her DS while Jazz and Kim worked on another college application. Danny was the only one still eating breakfast. He ate cereal while constantly taking quick glances at Kim.
When it came time to go to school, Danny picked his book bag off the floor. The Infi-map fell out of it as he picked up his backpack. "Oh crud…I forgot I was going to take this back to Frostbite today," he said as he set his bag back down.
"Well if you go now then you should be able to make it back in time to make it to school on time," Jazz said as she flipped over couch cushions in the living room. "Has anyone seen my car keys?" she asked anyone who could hear her.
"Already got them," Kim said. She held them up and jiggled them before she opened the front door and went outside. Jazz followed right behind her.
Before Danny could go down into the lab to enter the ghost zone to return the map, Danielle stopped him. "Danny…is it ok if I delivered it back to him?" she asked him.
"I don't know…the ghost zone is a pretty dangerous place to be by yourself. You know that from firsthand experience," he responded.
"Only if I don't know where I am or where I'm going," she responded back. "I know where the realm of the far frozen is. I can do it…please," she pleaded.
Danny looked away from her and sighed. "Danielle…you know how I feel about you roaming in the ghost zone by yourself." He turned back to look at her. "And if anything happened to you then…" He didn't finish because when he looked down at her, she was puppy dog pouting. Her eyes were wide and watery and she stuck out her lower lip. "Oh man…you know I hate it when you puppy dog pout," he complained, but she didn't stop. "Alright, you can take the map back to him," he said after finally giving in.
He handed over the scroll to her. She took it and hugged him. "Thanks Danny. I won't let you down," she said before she ran for the lab. She turned into her ghost form before flying down the steps.
"You be careful you hear me," Danny yelled down the steps after her before she activated the ghost portal and disappeared through. Danny turned and ran out of the house and jumped into Jazz's car just before she drove off towards school.
Inside the ghost zone, Danielle flew as fast as she could to get to Frostbite's icy realm. She flew fast just in case Danny was right and it was too dangerous for her to be in the ghost zone by herself.
Because she knew where she was going, it wasn't long before she saw the ice cave that was the entrance to the realm of the far frozen. She entered the cave and felt the temperature drop as she went deeper into the cave.
She came out on the other side to see the civilization where the people of the far frozen resided. Built into a mountain side, the people lived in caves cut out of the mountain side. The most distinguishing feature was Frostbite's frozen, ice castle that sat in a valley between two mountains. The training/fighting arena in which Danny and Danielle had used to train their freezing powers was seen behind the castle. It was currently being used at this time.
"I'll try over their first," she said to herself as she flew through the valley to the arena. She flew over the arena and saw Frostbite standing in the middle. He was in the middle of an ice blasting battle with another far frozen ghost. He easily dispatched of his opponent by stomping the ground and opening a fissure in the ice directly underneath his opponent. He fell in up to his waist before the fissure closed with him still in it.
He raised his arms in victory as the audience cheered him on. "Is there anyone left who wishes to duel me in the arena?" he yelled to the audience as it went silent. "Is there no one?"
"How about an old trainee?" a girl's voice said from the air. Everyone looked up to see Danielle descend from the air and land in the arena a few yards away from Frostbite. "I think I would be a pretty good match for you don't you think?" she asked him as her feet touched the icy ground.
"Ahh, young Danielle Phantom…younger sister of The Great One…Danny Phantom," Frostbite greeted her with much enthusiasm. "Welcome to the realm of the far frozen once again. So you wish to challenge me in a duel?" She simply nodded in agreement before getting into a defensive position. "Very well then…just one rule," he said as he held up one finger. "You can only use your freeze powers," he informed her as his hands started glowing with a blue aurora.
Danielle rolled her eyes at the one rule that he had implemented. "Danny makes the same rules when he and I get into freezing fights," she informed him as she started emitting her own blue aurora from her whole body. Her breath could be seen already because of the cold temperature, but her hair turn into ice and her eyes turned blue as she prepared herself.
"Who do you think taught him to fight an ice battle," Frostbite informed her. He then raised one of his hands and fired a large icicle at her. She reacted by catching it before it could impale her. She tightened her grip on the icicle before it shattered into pieces. She then inhaled and sucked the blue aurora surrounding her into her mouth. When she exhaled, she shot out a blue beam of light directly at Frostbite.
He was instantly frozen within a block of ice. He was stunned that she had created a move by altering how she used her freeze powers. He was even more surprised that she had such control over her freeze powers that she was not only capable of turning her hair into ice, but that she could generate a blue aurora without freezing herself.
He flexed his muscles and his bulky body broke apart the block of ice so he could move freely. "It would seem that you have some new moves," he said as he stretched his shoulder by spinning his arm in a circle. "But you should know that I am one of only few of us that can do that as well."
He then started to take a deep breath and formed a blue ball of light in his mouth. When he exhaled he sent a blue beam of light at Danielle. She gasped when she saw the beam of freezing light coming at her. She jumped into the air and back flipped over the beam of light before it could hit her entirely. One of her arms got stuck in the beam before she jumped out of the way.
She landed on the ground behind Frostbite, who turned around and looked at her. He cocked an eyebrow at her when she flexed her arm and broke off the ice that had encased it. "It would seem you are very skilled in the ways of ice fighting. Perhaps you can create a new move that we haven't used yet ourselves," Frostbite suggested to her.
Danielle cocked an eyebrow at his suggestion. "Well I guess I could try something like this," she said with a grin before she started to take in another deep breath. Only this time she didn't use her new freezing breathe attack, instead she used her ghostly wail. But instead of green ghostly energy, it was blue. She was using some freezing ghostly wail.
Frostbite gasped before he was overcome by the deafening sound waves and the freezing cold. The audience screamed in terror as the entire arena became covered in a thick layer of snow and ice.
When it was all over, Danielle was down on her hands and knees. She was breathing heavily to catch her breath. She looked up to see what damage had been done to the arena. "Whoa…I didn't think that would actually work," she said as Frostbite unburied himself from the snow.
"Well I do believe that was way beyond anything any of us can do," he said as he brushed snow out of his fur. "I surrender to your superiority younger great one," he said as he bowed to her.
"Yay," the crowd said boringly as they settled down from the short fight between the two.
"Well I know you didn't come here to fight," Frostbite said to her as he stood back to his full height. "Why is it that you have come?" he asked her as he walked up to her.
Danielle's memory sparked when he asked her this. She remembered that she had to return the Infi-map to him. She grabbed her suits collar and pulled it away from her neck. She pulled the scroll out of her suit and handed it to him. "Danny sent me to return this to you," she said as he took it from her.
He unrolled it and gasped in delight when he recognized what it was. "The Infi-map! At last, it has been returned. We've been worried about it ever since Pariah Dark stole it from us. What can we ever do to thank you?" he asked her.
"Get a better defensive system going on here," she responded. "He may have been the king of all ghosts, but he shouldn't have been able to get the map away from you guys so easily. Increase your defenses."
"We don't have any ways of increasing them beyond what they already are," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.
Danielle slapped her forehead in frustration. "You have got to be kidding me? Guess I'll have to do something." She then looked around the frozen realm and took flight. She landed on top of one of the towers of Frostbite's castle and looked out over the rest of the valley and surrounding mountains. She took flight again and floated over the entire realm.
She started to emit a blue glow as she built up her cold powers. She raised her hands into the air, and lifted all of the snow and ice in the realm up above her head. Frostbite and the other residents of the realm gawked with open mouths and wide eyes as she started to form it into a giant ball of ice in the air.
She then spread her arms out to her sides as the ball started to take the shape of a large dome. The bottom edges spread downwards towards the ground. Soon the ice dome surrounded the entire realm.
She descended to the ground in the middle of the arena which was now made of dirt instead of snow. All of the snow and ice of the realm had been removed and used to make the large ice dome.
Her blue aurora disappeared when she touched down on the ground. "What do you think?" she asked Frostbite as he continued to gawk at the site of the enormous dome of ice.
"It's absolutely amazing!" he said in response. "You truly are a master of the art of freezing," he said to her as he picked her up in his arms and crushed her in a tight hug.
"Can't…*cough*…breathe," she wheezed. He set her down and they decided to test and see just how protective it was.
They went to the inside side of the dome and tried to dig a hole through it to get to the other side. To make things easier, Danielle used an ecto-blast to melt a hole in the dome a good thirty feet in diameter. The dome was so thick, that the tunnel that resulted was nearly fifty feet thick.
"Think that will be protective enough?" Danielle asked mockingly. Frostbite simply nodded as he gawked at the thickness of the ice dome. Then a watch she just happened to be wearing started beeping. She looked at it and started getting worried. "OH MY GOD! I have to be at school in ten minutes! I'll never get home in time."
"Do not worry young hero," Frostbite said to calm her. He held up the Infi-map, unrolled it and pointed to a natural portal a little ways away from their current location. "I do believe this portal will take you directly to your school," he informed her.
"How do you know that?" she asked him.
"I'm the one that created this map," he informed her. "When a new portal opens up, I know where it will lead to just from reading the map."
Danielle took one last look at the portals location on the map and prepared to leave. "Wait a second…you guys aren't mad that I used all of the snow to make the dome are you?" she asked him.
"Of course not," he said in response. "We will simply recover the land with new snow." He indicated this by pointing to some far frozen people using their powers to re-freeze the lands.
"Ok good," she said with a sigh of relief. "I've got to go before I'm late for school." She then took off through the tunnel in the dome she had created.
"Fly fast!" Frostbite yelled after her. "I do believe the portal will close up in about five minutes."
"Thanks Frostbite," she yelled back to him before she disappeared into the ghost zones horizon.
Frostbite turned towards his people and told them to start setting up their defenses on the tunnel. He holds up the map and turns to go back to his castle before he got hit in the back by an ecto-blast.
He fell to the ground and looked up to see the silhouette of a ghost with a flowing red cape and hair in the shape of a pincer. He had green skin and red eyes. Next to him was a ghost with a mechanical battle suit. Vlad and Skulker had attacked him.
Skulker held up his hand and extended out his arm and grabbed the Infi-map from him. "We thank you for the wonderful gift my furry friend," Vlad mocked him as Skulker handed the scroll to him. They both laughed evilly as they left through the tunnel and fly off into the distance.
"Why is it that stealing the Infi-map has become too easy these days?" Frostbite asked himself before the entire ice dome cracked and shattered into trillions of pieces, covering the realm in tiny shards of ice. "I feel a new evil rising on the horizon," he said to himself.
