I think that my character is a big push over. She is very emotional. I am disappointed in myself. Oh well. Enjoy my next chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.
I looked from the balcony on one of the highest towers in Amity Park. "Valerie, Did you finish your side?" I said into our watch.
"Almost, just go to the beginning of your side and wait for my okay." The connection stopped.
I laughed to myself, and a breeze whipped my long black hair around me. I closed my eyes and went ghost. I opened them and saw that the wind was still billowing my now white hair. I lost the ponytail long ago, only because it was easier to fight without putting in my hair tie. "I still wish for the old days. I also wish that Vlad never figured me out, and maybe if I never left..." I was wistful.
"I'm done, Go ahead." Valerie's voice brought me out of my thoughts.
"Okay. I'll see you soon." I said back to her.
"See ya." The watch went blank.
I flew off the building and flew to the next six towers.
"Hey." A little girl waved at me.
"Hey Sarah." I smiled back to her.
I flew and checked the first tower, it was fine, and I proceeded to check the other five.
"Dani, how are those towers so far?" Valerie's voice said through our watch connection.
"Well let me get to the last one on this side, other than that, All of them are at max power." I rolled my emerald green eyes and laughed.
"That's good, I just got orders from my dad, After you check the last one, we can go back. And maybe-" The screen went blank.
"Valerie! Can you hear me? Valerie!" I shouted into the watch. Then two malevolent red eyes appeared on the screen.
"Hello Danielle. Nice to see you again." The voice said pleasantly, almost bored.
"You! What are you doing, you know that you can't get past the shield." I said, angry.
"Until today." Then a loud wail interrupted our conversation and caused me to place my hands over my ears.
I looked around the city and saw that the wail was destroying everything that was glass, windows, windshields. You name it. But the towers were starting to overload. I lifted into the air and flew away to find Valerie.
"Dani!" Valerie shouted, and I flew up to her.
"It's him. He is too powerful for the shield. We need to get back-" I was cut off by the towers starting to explode.
The towers exploded one by one until the ghost shield ceased to exist and someone came out of the sky.
"Fright Night?" Valerie's eyes widened.
I looked down back at my communication watch and saw the red eyes again, "Like the new power? I call it, my "Ghostly Wail."
"Yes me, and I serve a new master now." The knight's purple aura flared around him.
"No." I whispered.
"Yes Danielle. I do serve him." The Fright Night said.
I lifted Valerie into the air and flew towards 'Fenton Works'.
"Dani, put me down, I can fend for myself."
"Don't be a fool Valerie, you know as well as I that without the shield, he will come." I flew as fast as I could until we got inside the basement where the ghost portal was located.
I placed Valerie down onto her feet and Damon, Valerie's father, turned around with a shocked expression on his face. "The Fright Night's here, which means he can't far behind." Valerie was still in a state of shock.
"What do we do-" i started to ask, but another ghostly wail interuppted me.
The Ghost portal started to glow brighter and the ground around it cracked. "Valerie, Dani?" Damon called to our attention.
"Run." He said.
But then the ground erupted and a figure came out, he was covered in a green aura. But he didn't seem to keen to stay. The aura faded until Phantom was visible, his skin a green blue, eyes red, and his hair ablaze on his head. I could actually say that this has been one of the two times I have seen him since I came back.
"Hello you two." Phantom smiled, and he lifted his hand to us, "And goodbye." He released an ecto blast but before it could hit us I moved us out of the way and everything stopped.
The next thing I remembered was waking up in some castle with clocks and other time telling devices around me.
"Danielle Phantom. I'm glad you are up. But then again, I knew you would be up now." I followed the voice till I saw a ghost with a purple cape, and the weirdest thing was that randomlly he would become old or young or in between ever so often.
"Yeah, but why am I here?" I was wary.
"I need you to do something for me." He turned back to his glowing circle.
I walked up beside him and peered into the circle, it was Danny. My friend Danny, before he went psyco. "Like what?"
"I need you to protect Daniel, try to influence his choices. I don't want to destroy him, but if you fail. I'll have no choice." The ghost said simply.
"Wait, who the hell are you!" I exclaimed.
"I am Clockwork, Ghost of time. I have watched Daniel for the past ten years. I know that he could be stopped if he is stopped from some of the decisions he made around the test he took all of those years ago." Clockwork explained.
"The C.A.T." I said.
"Yes, and I need you to go back in time and stop him from cheating. But do not reveal yourself yet to him. I would just walk around as a human too, not a ghost until the time is right." He looked down at me.
I nodded, "Okay, I'll do anything to have my friend back."
"Of course, you'll need this." Clockwork pulled out a medallion from his pocket and handed it to me. I put it on and became human.
"Now what?" I asked.
Clockwork took his staff and pointed at the largest portal where the image of the original Nasty Burger appeared. "Go into the portal." He instructed.
I complied and jumped into the large portal and watched as I went through time and appeared in the alley way of the first Nasty Burger.
"I'm back." I whispered. I hid the medallion in my shirt and walked out of the alley.
"I know, but that test will be hard Danny. You need to prep for it." A familiar voice entered my mind.
Sam! I struggled to compose myself on the outside and on the inside I was completely frozen. "The last time I saw her was before I left." I whispered.
"Did you?" Danny countered. He, Sam and Tucker walked past me. But Danny stopped and looked back at me. I no longer saw innocence in his eyes, they were hardened by many battles and situations.
"Hi, can you help me?" I smiled and walked up to the trio. Danny's eyes narrowed slightly before he smiled back.
"Of course, did you just move here?" Danny asked, His sky blue eyes sparkling with suspision.
"I did live here before, but it has been awhile." it wasn't techically a lie. I havent been here in a long, long time.
"So what do you need?" Sam asked kindly.
"I need directions to 435 Baker Street." I asked, I saw all of them wince and I knew I hit a nerve with the old house number I used to live with.
"Are you related to the...Jarvis Family?" Tucker's eyes showed signs of grief.
"In a way. But you will know who I am eventually." I smiled.
Danny's eyes showed signs of understanding, I didn't technially reveal who I was, but I think Danny might be on to something. In the next week I will guide him and until the time is right, I will lie about who I am.
"Okay, you go about three blocks from here and Baker will be there and then you go to your left. 435 is down that way." Sam pointed in the opposite diretction.
I dipped my head in thanks, "Thank you." I turned in the opposite direction, "I see you guys later. Wait!" I turned back to them, "Your names?"
"Tucker Foley." Tucker said.
"Sam Manson." Sam said.
"Danny Fenton." Danny murmured.
"It seems to me that i opened up old wounds. Do you care to tell me what?" I walked back up to my old friends.
"It's just that our friend lived there." Danny whispered.
"What happened?" I knelt down next him.
"She was ran off by someone. But she will come back." Danny looked like he was in a different place.
"I'm sure she will come back. I know she will be back." I said with determination.
"Thanks, but we need to get going.I'll see you later." Danny said.
"Of course, See ya." I nodded, and I left them behind and as I walked away, I started to cry. They still believed that i would come back. I did, but not as a child.
Soon guys, soon.
