Hi it's me hrisi292. It took me a while to write this but I am happy with it. I always wanted to write something like this so don't hate me and I will have to disappoint the person who wrote the last review on ADB couse I don't believe that I have what it takes to write a nice and long chapter but I will try... Someday. I will write whatever I can whenever I can so be happy my dear buttercups.
Original AN: Hey buttercups. This one starts after the second episode with Dani. I know, I know. I said that I will put every ff except ADB aside. But this one wouldn't leave me alone.
It has been two days since Danny beat Vlad once again but with Valarie's help this time. Little did Danny know that she had seen a different side of him. A good side. But what would surprise the halfa more was that she is now aware about halfas, and that Danny is one of them.
Anyway, this morning was Saturday when Danny's Ghost Sense went off. It led him to the front door.
*Ding-Dong*
Danny jumped as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Jack's voice came from the living room.
Jack opened the door and saw a long haired old ghost, not that the hunter realized that, in postal uniform. He was called Kyle and his was holding a letter. Actually, this wasn't the first time the ghost had come to Fenton Works. Nor the last.
"Danny there is a letter for you." Said the giant man in orange.
And the times Kyle came to the Fenton household were at least connected with the young halfa. That is why he was by his father's side. What surprised him the most was the fact that his dad didn't realize that the letter was glowing, "It's from some Frostbite fellow. Do you know who is he?"
"Yes, dad, I know him. The better question is how did he find my address?" Danny opened the letter and started to read it, "Oh well whate-how did he knew that that Clockwork taught me Ancient?" Danny shrugged.
"Who is Clockwork, Danny?"
"He is another friend, like Frostbite. They live in the same area." Time to see what is this about. Danny thought.
"(Translated) Dear Great One,
I am writing to request your presence at the GZ Conference Hall tomorrow at 12:00 am. The meeting is of very high importance Great One. We will be in room №4. We will be addressing matters which should have been addressed when you beat Pariah Dark. I will explain everything there. There are instructions how to get there from your parents' portal.
Frostbite, Lieder of the Far Frozen." That was... unexpected, "Jazz we need to talk. In my room. Now."
TEN SECONDS LATER
"What's the rush?" Since Jazz became part of Team Phantom Danny and Tucker took it upon themselves to teach the new member Esperanto.
"(In Esperanto) I need to go in the Ghost Zone tomorrow. Will you cover me or I will have to came up with a lie to satisfy our parents?"
"Yes I will cover you Danny. Should I tell Sam and Tucker about that? And when do you need to depart for the GZ? And why?"
"Yes, you should. I don't know yet. And my presence was requested by Frostbite. More questions?" Jazz shook her head. The way Danny said these things meant that there was no room for questioning but that didn't stop her from asking the neutral question.
"Are there other things you want to talk about?"
"It depends on you, Jazz, and mom."
"Why?" Asked Jazz. Danny made the 'keep quiet' signal and went to the door, as quiet as a ghost, took the handle as gently as possible to not alert the person on the other side and opened the door in one swift motion, alerting his mom in the last possible second.
Maddie had been leaning on the door to hear as much as possible but somehow her baby boy had found out that she was eavesdropping, "Mom, were you eavesdropping?" Asked Jazz.
"What? N-n-noooo. I wasn't."
"Sure thing mom. You still are the worst lair I have ever seen. No offense Danny." Jazz said.
"None taken." Replied an amused Danny.
"Mom I have I huge secret But I cant reveal it to you or Dad because I am afraid of your reaction and because Jazz stopped me telling you earlier." Danny said once he closed the door, cutting off whatever Maddie was about to say in response while Jazz gasped.
"Danny are you sure that it's a good idea to tell mom or at least hint it?" Asked the redhead.
"Intuition Jazz." Was the reply she got.
"Will you need moral support?"
"It's your choice whether you stay or not. But what I need more is sign whether I'm making the right decision or not, Clocky." Maddie could only stare at her children through their little conversation. When nothing happened Danny opened and closed his mouth several times, wondering how to break the news. He sat next to his sister on his bed and his mom followed suit.
"Mom what do you know about half-ghosts half-humans?"
"That they do not exist."
"What if they did exist? How would they happen to be halfas."
That got her attention, "If they existed they can happen the... natural way or in lab incident. Why do you ask?"
"Let's focus on the 'lab incident' way and you'll see. What kind of incident is needed for the human to halfway die?"
"The person will need to be blasted with very highly concentrated ectoplasm or a combination of electricity and ectoplasm to run through their body, the electricity making the person's DNA unstable and working like a magnet to the ectoplasm, forcing them to make a perfect fusion of DNA and ectosignature resulting in a halfa as you called them Danny."
"Which type is more powerful?" Asked Jazz.
"The second type because the first one will be unstable till it's end."
"Where on Earth can the second type happen?" Asked Danny Almost there. Wait! If the second type is more powerful then the first one, and I am the second and Plasmius is the first that means that I am supposed to be more powerful then him. S-a-weet.
"In the opening of a manmade portal. They have to inside the portal for that to happen though. As for places it can happen in our house. But what does this has to do with... Danny did you activate the portal?"
"I did. Sam and Tucker were there. They knew from the very beginning. You and dad gave up so easily after years of working and I wanted to know what exactly was wrong with that thing so I went inside but I tripped because I could hardly see a thing. So I naturally, just like every other human, supported myself to the wall. Sadly I, while doing so, hit the 'ON' button and the rest is history. Well not exactly but for now at least."
"Have we... Have we hurt you with our weapons?"
"Well.. The Specter Deflector did the most damage and there were the hits you and dad could get on me but I have been through worse."
"Like what?"
"Vortex's electricity is one of them."
"Vortex?" Danny and Jazz looked at each other, having a silent conversation. Danny stood up and went to his computer. He hit the power button and turned to his mom and sister but before he could even open his mouth Jazz cut him of, "You are going to show her the files? Even the ones about Plasmius? And as much as I would like to see the updates I have homework to do and you'd better tell mom about tomorrow."
"In the same order: Yes, I am, only part of them, you will see them later, I have homework to do as well and of course I will." Danny turned to his computer and inserted the password while Jazz nodded and left to do her homework. Danny sat on his chair and opened the 'Ghosts' folder. There were two more folders called 'Allies and Friends' and 'Enemies'. He opened the second one and locked the ' ' file, "Mom, read each file very carefully and ignore what you already know about ghosts' personality, please. Some of them haven't came in Amity Park at all. You can meet then only in the Ghost Zone. Yes I have many enemies but I have powerful allies who are ready to leave their realms just to help me if I call for their help. Not all ghosts are evil as you and dad believe. If they were all evil, the world would have been in chaos since centuries ago." After Danny ended with his speech turned towards his homework and started working on it before the blue vapor decides to leave his mouth.
Later
"Wow... I just... wow." Was all Maddie could say about what she read. All of her believes about ghosts were thrown out through the window.
Danny smirked when he saw his mother's reaction to the ghost files, "And I am all done with my... homework." Danny blinked once and then twice. He looked at his homework and started searching for any hidden pieces but he found none, "This must be some trick. I haven't finished my homework in months." Danny looked up and smiled, "Wow. That feels good." The black haired teen looked at the clock at his nightstand and his eyes widen, "OK it's time to meet with Sam and Tucker. I'll be back hopefully before curfew."
"Danny, what do you and your friends do."
"Heh-he." Danny's hand went up to his neck, "Well we patrol the city for ghosts. I can sense then and Sam and Tucker help with fighting them when I can't handle them on my own. In fact, they help me whenever they can." Danny adopted a thoughtful look, "I kind of forgot to ask: Are you okay with me being a halfa? And would you like to come with us on patrol?"
"Danny if the things you have written in your files are true then ghosts are like people only... dead and from them I concluded who is your ghost half which about I have questions for later and yes I would like to come to this so called patrol. Will I need any special equipment?"
"Means of transport and I don't mean that RV or the Specter Speeder, a pair of Fenton Phones and definitely a Fenton Thermos. Everything else is yours to choose. Oh and you can't tell dad about me being a halfa. He doesn't know and I don't think that he will take it as well as you mom." Danny frowned and shacked his head, "Come on or we'll be late."
A bit later
"Danny, what took you and Jazz so long?" Sam asked without looking at the door which was her mistake. Tucker did not make the same mistake, "Umm Sam? You would like to see who else is coming with us."Said Tucker. He didn't knew why Mrs. Fenton was tagging with them but he knew that something has definitely happened earlier, "What did we miss."(AN: Pst. That was Esperanto.) "We told her. I asked for a sign from the old timer and he didn't gave one so..." Sam and Tucker nodded in understanding, "How much do you know Mrs. F?" Tucker asked cautiously. Her answer was simple, "I know enough."
Danny transformed, hidden by his loved ones presences'. He went airborne , activated his Fenton Phones and adopted a troubled look. Knowing that his friends, sister and mother had activated them as well, he started the troublesome conversation "This morning I got a letter from Frostbite."
"You and a letter from Frostie? It must be important." Said Tucker, the nickname given to Frostbite by him surprising only the newest member of the group.
"Yes, It is. Actually he requested my presence at a conference in the GZ. By the sounds of it I CANNOT allow myself to not be there."
"When is it?" Asked Maddie. She knew that she could somewhat trust this Frostbite perso-ghost but that didn't stop her from being suspicious.
"Tomorrow 12 am thankfully."
Several ghost fights and conversations later
Danny stretched his arms. The fights exhausted him a lot while these conversations were quite refreshing... well If we don't count the first one, "What a day." Yawned the halfa.
"You still have to explain many things young man." Said Maddie.
"I wouldn't expect less from you mom. All with it's time as a friend of mine says." Responded Danny with a smile. God he was tired. Hopefully he will get at least five hours of sleep.
"Okay. Go to sleep young man."
Danny turned in his bed to get more comfortable, "Night."
"Night."
Next Morning
Danny yawned when he stretched his hands above his head. Awoken by the sun rays at twenty-six to ten AM thanks to his sister. The smell of pancakes came from the kitchen. I'd better get ready fast. I don't have much time and I don't want to be late for once. Thankfully I am quite fast flyer. Danny thought when he saw the time. Fifteen minutes later Danny went down for breakfast. His mom and sister were in the kitchen while his dad nowhere to be seen.
"Good morning sweetie. There are pancakes for breakfast. When are you leaving?"
"Good morning. I will be leaving in an hour." Was Danny's reply. He sat down and started to eat his mountain of pancakes. It was ten o'clock when he was ready with his food.
Jazz looked up from the book she was reading, "How did you sleep?" She asked.
"For once Skulker and few other ghosts didn't attack but I still can't believe how fast Boxy can enter this plane of existence. While I welcome the break I can't help it but be a bit paranoid." Replied Danny.
"It's quite understandable you are used to fighting many ghosts no matter when." Said Danny's sister.
"So what are we going to do in my free hour and where is dad?" Asked Danny when he realized that Jack was nowhere in sight.
"He is down in the lab and you still have a lot of explaining to do." Was the answer for Danny's question. (Guess who gave it.)
"Then I guess it's story time as long as dad stays in the lab. Jazz can you please keep an eye on dad and make sure that I leave for the meeting on time?" Asked Danny, happy not for the first time to have his sister.
"Sure thing little brother." Smiled Jazz, always ready to help Danny.
In the following hour the black haired teen told his mother about his survival as a halfa till he met Desiree to the littlest detail.
"Ok little brother it's time for you to go. And turn invisible before you go down there." Jazz interrupted Danny when he was about to start talking about his next fight.
"Thanks Jazz. Bye mom. Bye Jazz." Danny hugged his mom and sister while he was saying that.
"Later Danny. And be careful." Said Jazz while Maddie said, "Bye sweetie."
Danny transformed in his alter ego, smiled, went invisible and intangible, and went through the green swirls leading to the alternative dimension called The Ghost Zone. Once inside the now ghost Danny pulled out the map he had Frostbite make for him from the knowledge from the infi-map and he saw that the GZ Conference Hall is in between Pariah's Keep and Ghost Writer's manor. Second after locating his desired destination he flew in its direction. It took him forty-five minutes to enter the majestic building which looked like something in between Ghost Writer's Manor and the Acropolis of Athens. In the room were several chairs around a round table. There were name tags in front of the chairs. On some of the chairs were Frostbite, Princess Dorathea, Clockwork, Nocturn, Underground and Skulker, and there were eight unoccupied seats for Pandora, Walker, two Observants , Fright Knight, Ghost Writer, someone called Cosmos and surprisingly Vlad Plasmius.
"Ah, Great One, I see that you have arrived. The meeting will start in fifteen minutes. Please take your seat."
Danny nodded, "Hello Frostbite, Princess Dora, Nocturn, Underground, Skulker, Clockwork. " Awkward silence settles the room until Clockwork decides to make a little conversation with the boy whom he is responsible for.
"How have you been since meeting HIM?" Danny tensed at his mentor's question. He took a deep breath, even if it was unnecessary, to erase some quite awful to his obsession images, "Well the nightmares are not as bad as they used to be or I am just getting used to them. Either way I still can't get at least a dreamless sleep let alone a peaceful dream. Actually the only nice dream I had was given to me by Nocturne, which I am thankful for. As for HIM I don't believe that my view of him has changed even a bit." Everyone flinched including Fright Knight who knew of Danny's worst nightmare and have had entered the room when Clockwork asked his question.
Seconds later Walker and GW entered, the poet raising an eyebrow after sensing the tension in the room. Soon after them Pandora, the Observants and Cosmos materialized in the room. Cosmos looked like a perfect fusion of the time keeper and the guardian of dreams. Actually these three ghosts were the Space Brothers but only few knew that they had brothers let alone that the three of them were them.
The only missing person was the other halfa Vlad Plasmius, "Where is the older halfa?" Asked Frostbite.
"I don't know. I made sure that he read your letter but I can't guarantee that he will come." Replied the knight.
"He will come in a few minutes."Said the time keeper stopping Frostbite from answering. Said ghost nodded his head to show that they will wait for the older halfa.
Just when the yeti like ghost was about to announce the beginning of the meeting, the object of the last conversation burst through the doors and sat at the only left seat, looking as if he had been flying at top speed to make it on time. And on time he came.
Our favorite villain multitasked and took his time to see who else was there while Frostbite started the meeting.
"Welcome friends, allies and foes. We are here to discuss Pariah Dark's last sealing in the sarcophagus of sleep." Mummers broke through the room because of the reason for this meeting. Except from Danny, Clockwork, the Observants and Frostbite.
"What exactly do you want us to discuss Frostbite?" Asked Ghost Writer.
"I wish to discuss the fight between Danny Phantom and Pariah Dark. As you all know Phantom was the winner. Thanks to the time keeper I was able to learn the circumstances of the fight. Danny Phantom had challenged Pariah Dark, even if without understanding, to a fight for territory and... for the crown." There were surprised gasps and stunned faces.
Plasmius's hate and jealousy were growing with each passing second. He was going to protest, to say that he was more suited to be a king but Danny beat him to it.
"Frostbite, you can't expect me to become the ghost king tomorrow. I don't know anything about being a king." Danny was going to continue making up excuses for why he can't be the king but Frostbite stopped him.
"Great One, I myself was not prepared when I was forced to be the leader of the Far Frozen. I was chosen to be a leader when I lead the forces against Pariah Dark in his previous reign and I was the only one who survived after the fight. That was when I lost my hand. I was an ordinary warrior yet only I survived." Everyone was surprised at this revival, "My point is, you will be a great king. Also the Ghost Zone has been left without real government for far too long."
"Does anyone else have other objections? I don't mean you Vladimir." Asked Clockwork without giving Plasmious a chance to to get the council on his side.
"The coronation must happen in the last week of the next month. When exactly has yet to be decided. Also, Daniel, you need to try to find yourself a queen." Danny's eyes widen at the thought of mirage, "And she must be at least a part ghost."
Danny started thinking about that and strangely enough thought of Princess Dora.
"If there is something else any of you want to add now is the time time for that." Said Frostbite. No one made a motion to say something so Frostbite ended the meeting. Danny wanted to talk to some of the ghosts so he stayed behind. Obviously some of the ghosts wanted to talk too.
Fright Knight approached him first. He kneed to our hero's surprise, "My prince, I pledge my alliance to you. Allow me to be your servant, your knight."
"Daniel, I am talking to you through telepathy, don't freak out. Tell Fright that you accept his alliance. It will benefit you."
"I accept your alliance." Danny said, throwing a look of gratitude to the time keeper.
Fright Knight stood up and said, "Thank you, my prince."
Then the Space brothers approached the young halfa.
"My name is Cosmos, your highness. I hope that you and I will be working together in the near future, young one." Cosmos's voice respectful yet joking was full of wisdom. Danny looked at the three ghosts in front of him and his eyes widen at the realization that they were the Space brothers three of the most powerful ghosts in the whole Ghost Zone. They were the most respected ghosts after the king. Danny gasped when nodded in confirmation of that. Nocturn smiled warmly and said, "Young one, I attacked your city not because I wanted to put the world in internal sleep but because it was a favor for Clockwork." Danny's eyebrows raised in surprise.
"I understand."
They left and Skulker made his presence known, "Hello welp. I hope that you being the king won't stop us from sparring together."
Danny smirked, "Of course it won't." Skulker matched Danny's smirk and nodded. After him Vlad and Clockwork came to the white haired teen.
"Daniel, with you becoming the king won't effect only the Ghost Zone. It will effect you as well. You will gain some new abilities and your powers will grow faster so you will need a teacher. Your options and Vladimir and HIM." Danny paled.
"No. I will not be his teacher. Once I wanted to be but now..." Vlad shook his head, "If this is why you wanted me to come, then I should not have bothered to come."
Danny was shocked at the older halfa's disrespectful tone, "Show some respect PLASMIUS!" Said Danny, switching to 'king mode'.
Vlad flinched, gulped and paled at Danny's voice, The King's Command making itself known to the present ghosts. Even Clockwork looked like wanted to be anywhere but here.
The prince's looks dared the halfa to say anything. Said halfa could only nod to the king's demand.
Danny threw one last look in Plasmius's direction and turned his attention to Clockwork, "If you can guarantee that Dan won't go destroying the worlds he will be the one to train me."
Clockwork smiled, "A wise choice, my prince." And with that he left.
Vlad used this to slip away towards his mansion.
Danny wanted to see how is Dora. Since he beat her brother she was the one in charge in the Dragon Kingdom. The first thing she did as a queen was to let time flow once again so for the last year her kingdom was adapting to the present days.
"Hi Dora. How are you?"
"Huh? Oh. I am fine. Thank you sir Danny... I mean you highness... I mean... Thank you." Danny blinked.
"Dora there is no need to be formal with me at the moment. In fact I see you as a friend so there is no need of you call me by any title unless necessary."
Dora smiled in gratitude.
"So how are things going on with the kingdom?"
"Oh! I believe that we are about two centuries behind the living world, Danny."
Danny smiled, "That's good. I didn't expect you to catch up so fast."
"I know, right? We have been progressing so fast that it's a miracle that we still have resources but I wouldn't be surprised. After all, we have been upgrading the farms and mines as well." Danny blinked. The Dragon Kingdom had problems with the resources? Not good.
"Did you have any problems with the resources?"
Dora adopted a sheepish look, "Well... we had one or two but we overcome them."
Danny frowned. Dora looked like she needed some time away from being a princess and then the halfa came up with an idea, "So Dora, in my school there is a some sort of a ball more like a party. And I was wondering if you could come with me because I was originally planning to go with Sam but she refused while using her parents as an excuse and I don't want the pass to go to waste, and I am rambling..."
The dragon princess giggled, "I would love to come with you."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"It's next Friday form 7 pm but we will leave at half past six from my house. Oh and we can go to get you an appropriate dress if you don't have one." Danny's hand went behind his neck, showing how nervous he actually was.
"Leave that to me to worry about Danny but... is that a date?"
"I guess?" Danny was relieved when she didn't press on the matter. He himself wasn't sure whether it was a date or not after all.
Danny, Dora the Frostbite left about an hour later together through the maze of halls which were part of the GZ Conference Hall.
Phew. It's finally done.
