Hey guys welcome to my first Danny Phantom Fic and my first Morally Grey fic. This is starting during the Reign Storm "movie" and, naturally, you all should expect differences and changes to pop up. Some will be explained immediately and some will take a while to be explained.

Now this is also getting crossed primarily with DC and one other item that you all will have to wait and see. However, that doesn't mean that there won't be some minor things added such as attacks, weapons, or even women from other items that would fit into this setting.

Now, I am going to give fair warning: this is an OP Danny fic so just be prepared for him to be destroying enemies and going through fights like a blow torch through butter.

That's all I've got to say for this chap so let's get this show on the road.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, DC comics, or anything else I use in this fic. Would be nice if I did, but sadly I don't and I'm doing this for free.

Special thanks to TheWhiteTitan for not only helping inspiring this idea, but for helping me hash out some details. I strongly recommend checking out his Danny Phantom fics, especially Forgotten Hero.

Chapter 1: Rage

Amity Park: Central Park
16 year old Danny Fenton, also known as the Hero Danny Phantom, was not having a good couple of days. It started with his arch enemy Vlad Masters, also known as the villain Vlad Plasmius (I know real original the both of them), came crashing into his parents' lab looking like he just went 10 rounds with a heavy weight champion. Then the asshole known as Fright Knight came and attacked the town claiming to be there under orders of some king of ghosts which ended up with Danny's friend Val nearly getting killed. Both he and Vlad fought him off only him to threaten to return and he did with an army of skeletons.

He and Val, despite her injuries, were handling them before the Fright Knight came and seemed to have gotten more serious as he was kicking both their asses causing Val to be injured worse and Danny to change back to normal. Except before the Knight could try anything substantial, Danny's father, Jack Fenton, came wearing a pair of mechanical pants and began slamming into the Fright Knight at high velocity speeds turning his slightly overweight father into a Human battering ram moving about 40 MPH. For a while it looked like his dad was going to fend off the Fright Knight.

If this was a perfect world, then his father would have kept hitting him and forced the Fright Knight to flee. If it was a perfect world, Fright Knight wouldn't have been able to handle Jack moving so fast and hitting him over and over. However, this was not a perfect world and this was not some cartoon where the good guy always wins without losing anything. This was not some sunshine story where the hero keeps the moral high ground as he never loses anything while letting justice prevail.

This was real life and that became evident as the Fright Knight got his footing and started fighting back… hard. To put it bluntly, Jack had his ass kicked and it was only describable as brutal beyond belief. Danny was only able to watch helplessly as his body was still recovering from his own ass kicking, but that didn't stop him from trying even as his friends Tucker and Sam, mother Maddie, sister Jazz, and his 'cousin' Dani trying to help him and Val up.

They all froze however as they heard Jack scream and widened their eyes in horror as Jack was run through by Fright Knight's sword before Fright Knight then blasted him back towards them. Danny immediately broke free from his mother and friends and went to Jack feeling cold fear going through him as he did.

Upon arriving, Danny collapsed to his knees to see his father bleeding and broken before him, "Dad?" Danny asked with his voice breaking and tears stinging his eyes.

Jack managed to open on eye and look at him before a small smile came to his face, "Da… Danny. Take care… of your mother… sister… and cousin. I'm proud of… you, Danny." Jack got out as Maddie and the others came over. Jack moved his left hand up to cup Maddie's face, "Maddie." He stated simply with the smile still there before his hand dropped and Maddie widened her eyes in horror.

"Jack?" Maddie asked as her eyes started tearing up and it got worse as there was no answer, "Jack?!" She cried as she laid her face on his chest and sobbed her heart out while Jazz and Dani were both crying as Val, Sam, and Tucker lowered their heads in sadness.

Danny however was frozen in shock. His father was dead. The Fright Knight killed him. His father was gone for good and not coming back. It was Fright Knight and his king's fault! Those thoughts changed his shock and sadness into an unbelievable rage as he stood with his hair covering his eyes.

The others looked at him as the rage kept building as something inside him awakened and became free. Danny clenched his fists and grit his teeth as his body trembled, "You won't get away with this." Danny growled as his eyes started to glow green, green electricity started sparking around him, and his hair was waving in the air and flashing white while the sky filled with dark clouds and green lightning started flashing everywhere. Maddie and the others were staring at Danny in shock as they saw what was happening and were wondering what exactly was happening.

Unknown to them, the ghosts that were hiding in town were all suddenly struck by a large ghostly power they hadn't felt before as it washed over the town and it was too much for some and they had to go see what the hell it was. Naturally, they were shocked to see Danny standing there against the Fright Knight generating the power they were feeling. They were all confused before Kitty gasped in shock and pointed to just behind him letting them see his father dead on the ground and immediately they understood and felt bad. They had issues with Danny, not his family and they didn't cross that line even Skulker only kidnapped his friends but never harmed them.

However, they weren't the only ones watching as several residents of the town were watching from a safe distance and were shocked at what they were seeing as well, especially those from the high school since wimpy Danny Fenton was showing to be something else entirely. One Dash Baxter was feeling a little bad and fearful for bullying him in school: the fearful because clearly Danny could have kicked his ass whenever he wanted and bad because he was actually thankful for everything he had done to stop the ghosts from attacking the town.

Back with Danny, he had never felt this angry before even the time he was under Ember's love spell and Sam kissed Dash. No, this was primal, unrelenting rage that howled for blood and revenge and it was triggering power that Danny felt erupting from deep within him, "I won't let you." Danny growled as his glowing eyes increased in intensity and his hair started waving more like fire and flashing between his normal black hair and the ghostly white of his ghost self.

Of course, Danny was too enraged to notice this just like he was unable to notice his body tensing and pulsing, the ground cratering, dirt rising around him, the storm clouds overhead getting worse, and the ghostly green glow surrounding his body increasing the longer he stood there. The power just kept surging within him, demanding to be let out and give him the strength he needed. It kept pulsing and pulsing like a dragon ghost clawing to get out of a cage 10 times too small to contain it.

Finally he gave in and let it out and a burst of power surged out of him accompanied by a scream of rage. The power shot into the sky in a tower of green energy blinding everyone in seeing distance while Danny felt himself changing and getting stronger. The people were in awe and shock while the ghosts were no better, but there was fear for some of the older ghosts. This power was the stuff only spoken of in legends and hadn't been seen in thousands of years and now it was unveiling itself right before them. The power was hitting them all like a sledgehammer since it just blanketed the town with its presence. Even Fright Knight was feeling fear from the power the boy was releasing.

When it died down, everyone gasped and gawked in shock at the new Danny Phantom/Fenton as he became something… godly: He stood tall at 6'1" with a lean muscle build, glowing ghostly green eyes, ghostly white hair acting like fire itself, and his uniform hugging his body showing off every muscle he had. He wasn't bulky like Dash and the other jocks, but he DEFINTELY wasn't the scrawny kid he used to be and the intensity and hatred in his eyes as he looked at Fright Knight would freeze over even the hottest pits of Hell. His new build could only best be described as one a warrior gained through combat and dedicated training, not some fool pumping iron to get bulging muscles.*

Of course, all the women, except Maddie and Jazz given the situation, blushed, [Holy Shit! Danny/Baby Pop/the boy/Phantom got hot!] Was the general thought while Val was more in shock that Danny was Phantom and Phantom was Danny.

They broke from their musings/thoughts as Danny turned fully to glare at Fright Knight, who took a step back on reflex before he righted himself and prepared to fight Danny. Danny merely started walking towards him, "You're going to pay for this, Fright Knight. You think the beating I gave you when I summoned you on Halloween was bad? You haven't seen anything yet." Danny stated in a more ghostly/cold tone while his voice was now deeper and brimming with power as his body tensed before he was gone shocking everyone before Fright Knight gasped in pain finding Danny right in front of him delivering a powerful uppercut right to his abdomen before grabbing his head and slamming him on the ground causing a large crater to form.

Of course, everyone was shocked at the speed and strength behind the attacks, but Danny wasn't even close to finished. He punted Fright Knight out of the crater before appearing above him and delivered a double hammer fist sending him crashing to the ground only for Danny to appear under him and allow him to land back first on Danny's knee. Danny then lifted him and slammed him on his knee hard enough to make Fright Knight shout in pain before being slammed into the ground where Danny flew up a bit and started firing Ghost Rays rapidly at Fright Knight.

After a full minute of the barrage Danny descended and grabbed Fright Knight by the throat showing he was bleeding ectoplasm and his armor was damaged badly. Danny pulled him close and glared into his eyes, "Run." Danny stated simply with a snarl on his face, "Run back to your so called King of Ghosts, let him know that his reign is coming to an end. Tell him I'm coming and Hell is coming with me." Danny growled out before tossing Fright Knight away and the ghostly knight wisely decided to flee back to the Ghost Zone as Danny walked back to his fallen father.

However he paused as he looked to his left and phased away before a scream was heard and Vlad in his ghost form was sent flying through a tree before he landed on the ground smoking. Danny walked from the direction Vlad flew with his eyes being entirely green and his face twisted into a scowl, "N-now Daniel, listen we can discuss this." Vlad pleaded as Danny got closer only for Vlad to scream as Danny blasted him with a Ghost Ray sending him into the ground.

"Discuss what exactly? How you caused all of this? How your thirst for power and greed led you to the Ghost Zone? How you cloned Dani using my DNA and tried to make her your slave? How you armed Valerie and framed me for ruining her father's job knowing that each time she and I fought you'd get data? How you stole the ring that the Fright Knight was going on about? How you apparently awoke the King of Ghosts?" Danny snarled at him as he walked and blasted him with each question while everyone was shocked before he stood over Vlad's cowering form, "Or maybe, we can discuss how it's your fault my father is dead!" Danny growled his eyes glowing brighter before Danny surprised everyone by zapping Vlad with Ghost Lightning making him scream as the rings appeared and turned him back to normal shocking everyone further.

"Congrats Vlad, you finally got me to cross the line. I now have enough hate in my body to cause harm to my enemies beyond defeating them and I think I'll focus on you!" Danny stated as he electrocuted Vlad further, "I don't know how my father ever called you his friend." Danny sneered angrily, "You did everything in your power since college to destroy and ruin him and for what? Because my mom didn't choose you?" Danny stated as he stopped the lightning leaving Vlad a twitching mess before Danny blasted him again and wrapped him tightly in ropes and chains made of Ecto-Energy, "I'm not done with you yet, Plasmius, you've got a lot of payback coming your way." Danny stated before throwing him over towards the others and looked to Val, Dani, Jazz, and Maddie.

"Do whatever you want with him, just don't kill him. He deserves anything you want to do to vent." Danny stated with his voice turning back to a normal Human's while still sounding deeper than it did before. Dani then turned and looked at Vlad with a downright murderous expression as her own hands started glowing before Danny looking up at the ghosts.

The ghosts, naturally, tensed before Danny floated up towards them and floated right in front of Skulker, "You're going to tell me everything about this Pariah Dark guy." Danny stated coldly with his voice changing again and when Skulker tried to object Danny jabbed his hand into Skulker's suit and made it start glowing showing he intended to fry all the circuits and quite possibly Skulker himself, "And you're going to tell me NOW." Danny stated with an emotionless face while his tone and eyes gave clear indication that he would indeed harm Skulker if he didn't answer his demand.

"Easy kid." Poindexter stated before Danny turned his glare at him making him yelp and hide behind one of the others.

"Talk. Now." Danny stated as his hand glowed brighter before the ghosts told him about Pariah Dark.

Pariah Dark was evidently the ghost equivalent of the boogeyman and the Devil and had terrorized the Ghost Zone for centuries long before any of the ghosts Danny had fought came to exist. He was only brought down by 13 Ghost Mystics that were supposed to be Pariah's council and they betrayed him and defeated him by stealing his two main power sources: The Ring of Rage and the Crown of Fire. The two items were just as if not more ancient than Pariah was and were forged through methods lost to time. All that was confirmed was that the Crown of Fire flooded the user's body with power and it took an iron will to control and that power only increased when used in conjunction with the Ring of Rage. The Ring was said to turn the user's own pure hatred and rage into power but needed the Crown of Fire as a focal point thus you needed both to control and have the power of the other or you risked being overwhelmed by them. Pariah was the only known exception to this.

The Ring was sealed in an impenetrable box while the crown was used to power Pariah's prison: the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep. The key for both of those were was hidden on the opposite end of the Ghost Zone protected by several guardians and traps to ensure it was near impossible to get the key. Then there was the defences of Pariah's castle and Pariah himself should someone try to take the items so it was the hardest thing to do save for conquering the Ghost Zone.

Why was there a key to open the box and the Sarcophagus? No one knew, but a few speculated that the mystics wanted the items retrievable for someone in the far future and the test of their worth would be having to face Pariah in order to have both. Of course, this was just myth and rumors since no one had confirmation on any of it so it was anyone's guess.

Regardless, Danny now had information on his new enemy and where to find him and that was enough for him. With that in mind he released Skulker and floated back down to his family, "You'll have your homes back within a day, don't make me regret it." Danny stated landing and changing back to his Human self with his body still holding the muscle and size it had before.

Danny stopped at his father's body only idly seeing both Val and Dani panting from beating the hell out of Vlad and Maddie looking like she wanted to but was too focused on Jack. Danny stood there looking at his father before the tears came down his face and he knelt and picked his father up before carrying him back to Fenton Works while Dani followed first dragging Vlad behind her by his ponytail. Sam and Tucker helped Val while Jazz helped move Maddie towards the house.

The ghosts were all still just stuck there in shock at not only Danny's proclamation but his transformation as well. The people of Amity Park were just as shocked if not more since the guy defending them for over a year was just a teenager and the son of the "Ghost Nuts" that were the Fentons. Both groups had a lot to process about this whole mess and no one knew what was going to come next.

Back with Danny, he was in his parents' lab putting his father on a table and covering him with a sheet while leaning on said table with his head down. He regretted not having spent as time as he could have with his…. Eccentric father. There was plenty they could have done and he never got the chance to try and trust his father with his secret, though he doubted it would have been as cut and dry as he would have wished. Now he had no chance for it at all except with the small chance his father became a ghost, which wasn't something Danny wished on him even if he would get to see him again.

He broke from his musings when he heard footsteps and heartbeats and smelled a perfume telling him who it was, "What is it guys?" Danny asked surprising the goth girl and tech nerd that he knew they were there, "My senses are higher than before, I could smell and hear you before you made it halfway down the stairs, so what is it?" Danny stated still feeling his body adjusting to the changes and power inside.

"Uh, there's a group of people outside, they want to know what the plan is. They all see you as a hero and everything so they want to know what you want to do." Sam stated while brushing her now back length ponytail behind her before a male scream of pain was heard.

"Oh, and your mom and Jazz are joining in on Vlad's beating." Tucker stated casually since he honestly didn't feel bad for the fruitloop in the slightest. The psycho constantly tried to kill or maim Danny and just made things bad for the town in general, Tucker was just glad he never got the chance to try and run for mayor or who knows what kind of shit they'd have to deal with.

"I'll be up in a minute, just… try to make sure Vlad doesn't die. I need to know where that key and ring are." Danny stated making the two nod before heading back up with Sam sparing another glance at her best friend and semi-secret crush.

Danny sighed before putting his hand on his father, "I'm sorry dad, but I'll take care of mom and Jazz, I promise you." Danny stated before he turned and went upstairs. Upon reaching the living area, he found his mother with a now dented frying pain with some ice taped to her right hand and Jazz with a rolling pin that was broken in two while Vlad was on the ground bloody and beaten.

Danny caught his mother's wrist before she could smack him again, "Stop, you're going to kill him at this rate and I still need some answers." Danny stated seriously not letting his mother go no matter how hard she pulled, "Stop." Danny said firmly again making her freeze before he took the pan away and threw it on the couch before making his mother sit in one of the chairs while Jazz stopped on her own. Danny knelt in front of his mother and cupped her cheek, "I'm angry too, but right now we have more important things to worry about like the Ghost King. Now, I'll handle things but I need you to make sure that you can take care of the others since they have no idea whatsoever on how to fight or fend off ghosts. I need you to focus." Danny stated seriously while trying to be sympathetic to his mother right now.

Maddie for her part just looked at her son in astonishment, [When did he grow up so much?] She thought to herself as she hadn't noticed till now how grown up he was. However, that thought was suddenly struck with the realization her son was half ghost and she narrowed her eyes at him in the same kind of annoyed/angry look all mothers gave, "We're going to have a long discussion about the things you've been keeping from me, young man." She stated and Danny smiled and nodded.

"I'd expect nothing less, now rest." He stated giving her head a kiss before turning back to Vlad and the warmth on his face vanished in an instant. He grabbed Vlad and lifted him up before pinning him to the wall, "Where is the key and the ring?" Danny asked with a cold tone while Vlad merely smirked before Danny backhanded him knocking some of his teeth out, "I'm in no mood for games Vlad, I told my mom not to kill you, but there are still plenty of ways to inflict pain and discomfort till you do tell me." Danny stated as he raised his other hand to eye level and had electricity start sparking on it making Vlad tense.

"D-Daniel really, we can talk about this. Th-there's no reason for this to get unpleasant or anything." Vlad stated before he screamed as electricity shot through him courtesy of Danny.

"Unpleasant? Unpleasant?! I just lost my father and you think this situation is going to become unpleasant?!" Danny roared as he shocked Vlad again before slamming him on the ground knocking him out before Danny made his hand glow and ran it over Vlad's body finding the key on his neck but not the ring before Val put her hand out towards him showing the ring.

"Asshole gave it to me, said he could only trust me to keep it safe." Val stated while glaring at the unconscious fruitloop. She looked to her left to see Dani patting her shoulder gently with a sympathetic look on her face.

"It's alright Val, you're not the first person that he's used for his own gains." Danny stated glaring at Vlad's body as he took the ring and felt a small jolt of power from it making him look at it curiously. Something inside him was connecting to the ring, but he had no idea what the hell it was and he didn't have time to think about it right now.

With that in mind, Danny pocketed the ring and turned towards the front door and opened it to see more than half the town there with all the ghosts floating above them and all of them were murmuring before they noticed him. Sam, Tucker, and the others, minus the unconscious Vlad, came out with Tucker and Sam moving toward the group, "They wanted to know what our next move is since the Fright Knight is gonna come back and he's likely going to bring an army with him." Tucker stated since it wasn't that hard to figure out and wasn't that big of a longshot to guess.

Danny sighed as he really didn't want to think about this at the moment, "There's not much of a plan to figure out. So long as the worlds are connected the Ghost King will attack here, so long as we have the ring he'll attack here, so long as the Ghost King exists he'll stay a threat. Basically, it boils down to something simple." Danny stated as his hands glowed green along with his eyes since the Ghost King was responsible for his father's death, "I'm going to destroy the Ghost King." Danny stated with the anger being clear in his voice, "Sam, Tucker, while I'm doing that I want you to arm as many people able and willing with Fenton Tech since I don't want to chance that while I am dealing with him that part of his army comes and attacks." Danny stated making the two nod, "Mom, I know Fenton Works has a Ghost Shield so I want it geared and ready since if nothing else we can't let his armies get outside the town or we'll constantly be having problems from those that get away." Danny stated making his mother nod with a smile since he was making good calls, "Jazz, I want you and Dani to keep an eye on Vlad so he doesn't escape. Val can help but I want her injuries being treated before anything else happens since she shouldn't aggravate her wounds too much." Making the three nod while Mr. Grey was shocked his daughter was the Red Huntress, if not for the situation he'd be pissed off, but after they survived this mess, he had all the time in the world to ground and lecture her.

Anything further was stopped as Fright Knight appeared through a portal with a small army of skeletal warriors. However it got worse as a cloudy projection of someone they could only assume was Pariah Dark appeared, "Pathetic Humans, one of your kind has dared to steal something that is mine. My forces will give no mercy or quarter until it is returned to me. Give up the thief and the item in question I may provide some of you with some semblance of Mercy. Do not, and I will unleash my legions on you and destroy this pathetic village you live in." Pariah warned as Fright Knight called his forces forward.

Danny growled as his eyes glowed, "I'm going ghost!" He stated before the rings appeared changing him back to his new appearance before he took off towards Fright Knight while his group moved to follow his orders.

The ghosts however merely stood there and watched, "Skulker, shouldn't we help the kid? I mean if Pariah crosses over then there isn't any place for us to hide." The Lunch Lady asked since they were only in the Human world right now to get away from Pariah.

"Save your breath, Lunch, he's too curious in what the kid can do now to worry about that. He wants to know if his earlier victory over Fright Knight was just a fluke or not." Poindexter stated since he knew what made Skulker tick just like he did with all bullies though he'd be lying if he said he wasn't interested too since that power and everything that Phantom unleashed was something godly, even by ghost standards.

"Yeah well, if the kid gets into trouble then I'm helping him out." Ember stated making many look at her since she offered to help Danny and because she didn't call him 'baby pop' as she had taken to calling him. Ember didn't notice this since she was too busy admiring Danny's new body and the way his muscles flexed each time he moved.

The only ghosts that didn't were Kitty, Desiree, Dorathea, and Spectra. The first three were because they were admiring Danny as well since Kitty had somewhat dated him when she Overshadowed Paulina to make Johnny jealous and she'd be lying if he hadn't kind of swept her off her feet and had had a crush on him since. Desiree was admiring him both for his body and because of his powerful desire that was strong enough that it was sucking her in because of her powers since her whole thing was granting desires. However, she also could feel that if given the chance a thousand times over he'd never approach her for the wish because he wanted to do it himself, which that in itself was admirable and really surprised her. Dorathea was admiring since she had had a crush on him ever since her brother's beauty pageant stunt with Danny helping her stop him. Many others would have simply stuck her in the same category as him and attacked her too, but not Danny. He merely asked for her help and then let her return to the Ghost Zone without that cramped thermos.

Spectra however was much more interesting. While she did find his new body to be pleasant eye candy, it was his emotions that had her locked on to him. There was so much rage, anger, pain, sorrow, despair, vengeance, and more negative (to some points of view) emotions running through him that it was intoxicating and she had no idea how he was producing so much emotion and still maintaining control of his powers and focalizing the emotions into fighting his enemies. If she lacked the self-control she possessed, she probably would have stripped naked and eased the heat burning in her body from just being the distance that she was. She shuddered in pleasure, anticipation, and slight fear of what would happen if she got within touching distance of him.

Back with Danny, he made contact with Fright and his contingent of skeletal warriors… violently. How did he do this? He flew full speed and slammed Fright Knight off his horse and sent him through several of the warriors before suddenly hitting the breaks letting Fright Knight fly and slam painfully into a building. While Fright Knight tried to get up, Danny quickly made two large disks of ghost energy and threw them watching with satisfaction as they sliced through the skeletons with ease causing them to disperse. Danny then raised his hand and blasted Fright Knight's horse with a massive Ghost Ray vaporizing it from existence.

Danny then moved to the side and punched the skull of one of the skeletons turning it to dust before he rapidly fired Ghost Rays around him destroying waves of the skeletons. He then focused his energy and created a whip of ecto-energy and started slashing through the enemies with it before he shifted it into a large Glaive and threw it as it cut through everything. Danny then ducked and mule kicked a skeleton behind him catching the axe it dropped before slamming it into another skeleton as he kept tearing through them.

Danny stopped, however, as he felt something coming up behind him and caught Soul Shredder between his hands holding it in place as Fright Knight fought to overwhelm him with strength. Danny merely glared coldly at him as he moved the sword away from above his head and out to the side, "Nice Sword." Danny stated as a feral grin came to his face making the Fright Knight feel a cold chill of fear, "I think I'll take it." Danny stated before twisting the sword away from Fright Knight's grasp and taking the handle before he cut off Fright Knight's right arm.

Naturally, this made the Knight ghost howl in pain before Danny took his other arm and both his legs off too. Fright Knight fell to the ground howling in pain as his limbs were on the ground before Danny blasted them from existence and looked to Fright Knight who was trying to stem the bleeding of ectoplasm from his wounds.

"How does it feel Fright Knight? How does it feel to experience fear and terror yourself and find out that your helpless to change it?" Danny asked as he stabbed the sword into the ground and walked towards Fright Knight, but paused as Fright Knight began laughing.

"Foolish mortal, I've been in fear every day that Pariah was awake. I only served him to not be destroyed and now you've handed the city over to him." Fright Knight stated as Soul Shredder glowed before a dome covered the town. Danny merely turned his attention to Fright Knight again who spoke, "The sword is sunk, your die now cast! The sword removed shall signal fast. Make reappear the ring thou hast, or your next day shall be your last!"

Danny merely grabbed him by the throat and lifted him, "You think I give a shit about your little dome? You think I care that if I remove the sword we'll be in the Ghost Zone? You think I care about you serving the Ghost King only out of fear? I don't. You're a fucking coward for doing that, you murdered my father, and your little stall tactic of this dome and the threat of being transported to the Ghost Zone means nothing since I plan to kill Pariah and it's his power that will hold us there." Danny stated as he pressed a hand against Fright Knight making the ghost chuckle.

"If only more men were like you, then maybe the ghosts would have stood a chance. Give the king a blow for myself." Fright Knight stated before Danny blasted him with a large Ghost Ray obliterating him from existence leaving just Danny's smoking hand.

Danny then turned his attention back to the sword and walked towards it seeing the beam of energy still going. Reaching into his pocket, he took out his cellphone and dialed, "Jazz, tell mom to get everyone into Fenton Works and put the shield up. When this bubble over the town comes down the Ghost King is going to arrive and I don't want any bystanders caught in the fight." Danny stated as he wanted the Ghost King focused solely on him.

"Alright Danny, I'll tell mom, right now we've got about twenty people or so armed with gear just in case. Are you alright?" Jazz asked after informing Danny and Danny smiled.

"Yeah, I'm alright, Fright Knight is gone for good. Pariah is all that's left to handle now. Stay safe." Danny stated before he hung up the phone and gazed at the sword before pulling the ring out feeling both giving off an echo to him that he couldn't explain. It felt as if the ring and the sword wanted him to possess them, but the question was why?

From what he found on Fright Knight after the first encounter, he had been a knight dating back to the time of King Arthur and had used the sword ever since so why was it calling to him? The Ring of Rage wasn't used by anyone other than Pariah so unless it was drawn to the anger Danny was still feeling, why was it drawn to him?

Danny didn't know but he already planned to keep the sword and the ring wasn't going to be left anywhere that someone else could take it. The latter though made him take something into consideration and released it from his hand only for the ring to float and go to his right ring finger before slipping on perfectly. In an instant, Danny felt his powers, which were feeling like a wildfire a moment ago, become calmer and more controlled.

[Hmm, so the ring focuses power rather than gives it? That must be why Pariah wants it since he can't fully control or unleash his power without it]. Danny thought since this just made the ring all the more valuable but he also had something else in mind for it and slipped it off his finger before pocketing it again.

It was then his cellphone rang and as he looked at it, he saw he had been lost in his thoughts for almost 20 minutes. He quickly shook away those thoughts and answered his phone, "Danny, we've got everyone in town except for a few stragglers and mom's ready to turn on the shield when you are." Jazz reported not informing him their mother sent out some Fenton drones to keep an eye on him should things go bad.

"Good, turn the shield on and then stay there while I deal with Pariah." Danny stated before hanging up the phone and saw the green glow appear over Fenton Works signifying the shield was up. Once he confirmed it was, Danny grabbed Soul Shredder and yanked it out of the ground causing the dome to dissipate and as it did, it revealed the town was within the Ghost Zone.

Right on cue, the ground started shaking as Pariah appeared along with an army of skeletons behind him, "Pathetic Humans! Give me back what is mine or I will be forced-" Pariah was cut off by a large Ghost Ray tearing through several dozen of his warriors and caused him to look up and see Danny there and widened his one eye at feeling the power, "Impressive boy, you're part trash and yet have a great deal of power. If you submit now, I will-" He didn't finish his offer as Danny flew at him and slammed into him crashing him through several hundred skeletons before letting him fly off the edge and hit one of the floating islands.

Before the skeletons could attack, Danny quickly spun releasing a large Ghost Ray as he did destroying even more of them. Danny then raised his right hand and caught the mace Pariah had thrown at him and clutched his hand until the mace began cracking before it finally shattered and he lowered his hand.

Danny ignored the ectoplasm trailing down his hand knowing it would heal shortly as he stared at Pariah, who had a murderous expression on his face, "C'mon old man, show me what you got." Danny stated with a grin as he readied Soul Shredder and Pariah pulled his own sword out before charging at Danny with a war cry.

Their blades met with a loud clash as a shockwave of power erupted from the hit causing the grass in the ground to peel away to the dirt while Danny and Pariah were sent skidding back. Danny frowned seeing how close they were to town and suddenly charged at Pariah, who attempted to cleave him in two. However Danny teleported behind him and did a large Ghost Ray to his back sending him flying before Danny appeared above him and slammed him into the ground of the football field.

Danny floated to the ground looking at the crater without expression, "You can get up now, I know you're not hurt, not from an attack like that." He stated as Pariah opened his eye and rose to his feet with a cruel grin. Said grin was replaced by a look of curiosity as Danny dug in his pocket before showing the ring.

What Danny did next shocked everyone watching as he tossed Pariah the ring, "Put it on." Danny stated seriously while Pariah grinned and did so feeling his power come fully under his control.

"Are you going to submit to me now child?" Pariah stated with a confidant grin, one that left at seeing the proverbial fire in Danny's eyes.

"No Pariah, I'm just going to kill you.." Danny stated coldly before he walked towards him dragging Soul Shredder across the ground by the tip leaving a cut in the ground, "People used to ask me why it is I do what I do. The answer, is people like you." Danny stated as Pariah fried a Ghost Ray at him only for Danny to swing Soul Shredder and destroy the attack while Soul Shredder started to glow, "It was people like you that made my town have to live in fear." Danny stated before he and Pariah charged and Danny pinned his blade under his.

Pariah growled seeing this, "It's because of people like you that my family was ridiculed." Danny stated before head butting Pariah making him roar as his nose broke before a punch landed square to his jaw sent him back as Danny walked towards him, "It's because of people like you that innocent people suffer." Danny stated before blocking a sword strike and spinning around Pariah to give him a cut to the back making him roar in pain before he glared at Danny, "But I am here right now because of you!" Danny growled as he locked blades again before delivering a punch to Pariah's gut that made him gasp for air and left a dent in his armor.

Pariah tried to control his breathing as he glared at Danny, "You came to my town." Danny blasted him back with a Ghost Ray, "You send your thug to attack my home!" Danny locked blades with him before kicking Pariah's legs out making the Ghost King stumble, "You are just as much to blame for my father's death as Plasmius!" Danny swung his sword down on Pariah's with the Ghost King fighting to hold up against the power of the hit, "And because of that, I. Will. Never. FORGIVE. YOU!" Danny shouted with each word being accompanied by a strike before Pariah's sword shattered and Danny kicked him across the ground.

Danny stared at the Ghost King with nothing but pure hate and rage in his eyes as he stabbed Soul Shredder into the ground and walked towards the downed king.

Unknown to Danny, the entire town was watching both in awe and shock as no one had seen him fight so brutally before. The fact that he had powered up his opponent before unleashing hell on him just further cemented that the old Danny Fenton/Phantom was gone and this new one wasn't taking shit from anyone. Sam honestly found it hot.

"Remind me to apologize to Fenton after this." Dash whispered to his best friend Kwan, who silently nodded knowing he'd have to apologize too.

[Oh wow, look at those muscles! I can't believe the Ghost Boy was really that Fenton kid.] Paulina though while liking what she was seeing and was looking forward to getting the Ghost Man alone to herself.

[Well, this certainly explains all of his absences]. Mr. Lancer and the other high school faculty thought as they saw Danny tear the supposed King of Ghosts apart.

[That's right Danny, make him pay]. Jazz, Maddie, and Dani all thought glad that one of the people responsible for Jack's death was now at Danny's mercy.

Outside the ghosts were in similar states of shock and awe since the boy that had caused them problems for close to two years was now destroying the King of Ghosts like he was an insect. What's more is he was doing it with the Ghost King having his full power and hadn't been hit yet and had already disarmed Pariah of his weapons.

[Oh my, watching him dominate Pariah is one of the hottest things I've ever seen]. Spectra thought finding the entire thing to be a massive turn on and combined with Danny's new look and his brutality it was just pure enjoyment.

All of the viewers' thoughts were broken when Pariah waited till Danny got close and fired a Ghost Ray point blank into Danny's face making several of the girls panic. However, before anyone could react, a hand shot through the energy and grabbed Pariah by the throat before slamming him into the ground again stopping the ray. Everyone stared in shock at Danny standing there smoking with a snarl on his face, "Is that the best you can do?" Danny asked shocking Pariah, "I give you the ring to let you unleash your power and that was the best you could do?!" Danny growled before lifting him and spartan kicking him across the football field. Pariah hit the ground and skid across it as Danny approached before rising to his feet, "That's right old man. Get up! Get up and at least try to prove to me you were worthy of all the fear the other ghosts showed you!" Danny stated before he teleported and delivered a hard punch to Pariah's face before twisting into a spin kick sending him flying before Danny appeared next to him and did a two handed Ghost Ray that sent him plummeting to the ground.

Pariah righted himself while looking frantically for Danny, "Psst. Behind you." He heard making him turn and stare in surprise at Danny standing right there, "Hi, nice day." Danny stated before blasting Pariah with a another Ghost Ray.

Danny lowered his smoking hand showing Pariah face down in the dirt again and walked towards him before kicking him over making Pariah groan. Danny then lifted him and grabbed his right wrist before breaking it making Pariah scream in pain before Danny slipped the ring off his finger and put it back on his right hand making it pulse.

Pariah saw this and growled, "Don't think just because you've gotten lucky so far that you are still a match for me or the power of the ring." He growled making Danny raise an eyebrow before backhanding him making Pariah spit out some ectoplasm and a tooth before Danny grabbed the Crown of Fire from him and tossed Pariah away.

Pariah growled as he got up before seeing Danny crush the Crown of Fire in his hand making the fire swirl around his arm and body before he was consumed. When it died down, Danny stood there with his hair flaming with more intensity and his eyes had a burning fire inside them while the Ring of Rage was changed and now was silver with a black skull and green flaming eyes.

Danny took a few calming breaths feeling his power raging inside him as the ring worked to control and funnel it. Danny then turned to the shocked and enraged Pariah, "You dare take what is mine?!" Pariah shouted charging at Danny intending to pummel the welp into submission.

Danny merely stood there before catching Pariah by his horns stopping him in his tracked before Danny snapped his one horn off making Pariah roar in pain before it silenced as Danny then rammed the horn up through his jaw and twisted it. Pariah gurgled on his own ectoplasm as he tried to hit Danny.

However Danny wasn't having that and caught the fist with one hand before breaking it and kneeing Pariah hard in the gut. Pariah was gasping for air as he choked and fell to his knees knowing he had lost before Danny pointed his hand at him, "Long live the king." Danny stated with a snarl before he unleashed a massive Ghost Ray and watched as Pariah was torn apart and disintegrated into nothing.

Danny lowered his hand with an emotionless face as the area around town warped and turned back to normal showing they were back on Earth. Danny then turned back to the ghosts that were watching him making them tense, "You have a week to go back to your world or I will make you." Danny stated seriously making many gulp in fear before he levitated off the ground and flew home.

He needed some rest and time to get used to his new power. Then… then he was going to deal with the fruit loop and make him pay for what he had done. It was going to be a long couple of days.

Unknown area of the Ghost Zone: Clockwork's Tower

Deep in the tower of gears and clocks clanking and ticking, the Ghost Guardian of Time was watching with a smile on his face, "Very good Daniel, very good." He stated having watched everything that occurred.

"Time Keeper!" A shout came behind him making him look and see two of the Observants there, "You must interfere! This Phantom is even more powerful and dangerous than that other one!" The Observant on the left stated while the one on the right nodded.

"Yes, but that's what you need if you want that other one destroyed before he can ruin his reality further. Fear not, this Danny won't succumb to the darkness, but he won't bask in the light either. He needs to be neutral to all if you wish for the outcomes of the world to happen as you hoped. There are heroes who will hinder the peace of the world and there are villains who will destroy it, he must face both of them if he is to bring about peace to the worlds. To interfere now would make him resentful due to the fact his father has died in this timeline, something that never occurred in any of the others. The one in a million shot as the Humans say." Clockwork stated making the Observants hum in thought.

"Very well, we will not interfere. However, if he proves to be straying towards the darker path then you must force him into a conflict with that other one. The universe is barely in balance with that one being around. We do not care if the boy goes dark so long as that other one no longer exists after he does." The Observant on the right stated before they floated away not seeing the smirk on Clockwork's face.

"Fools. They don't realize just who this Danny is among ghosts, but in time… they will and they will know that there is nothing I nor anyone else can do to stop him from his path." Clockwork stated looking at a monitor of an older Danny mercilessly destroying Ghosts and Humans alike while cackling with dark glee, "Not even Dan will stand before him." Clockwork stated ominously knowing he'd have to guide Danny when the time was right for his powers to grow and focus.

He knew other parties across the world and some dimensions would take notice of Danny's new power and weren't going to wait long before they either investigated or attacked. The question was, who would be first?

As he always stated, Time will tell.

Done! Hope you all enjoyed it and look forward to updates.

Now again this is a Grey Danny which means at times he'll be the bad guy and other times he'll be the hero. So expect some fights with both villains and heroes as we progress.

Anyway next time will be Danny settling into life and getting not one but two girls one a servant and one a main pairing.

*For Danny's new physical build, think Mystic Gohan from Dragon Ball Z.

That's all for this time, I will see you all next time. Please review.
