Breathing out blue fire he let out some steam before finally calming down and shrinking a bit before lying down to think. This resulted in him curling up a bit, but after a moment he could smell two beings near him at the moment. Quickly looking over he noticed Hiccup and Toothless staring at him from behind the tree line. The two as a result quickly backed away in surprise before Danny stretched the wings on his back and taking off. Right as he was out of sight he changed to the white dragon and than turned into Phantom before going invisible and landing in the ground.
He than turned back into regular Danny feeling much more calm and walking threw the woods away from the two of them. Ideas raced threw his head at what this could mean if anyone found out what he could do, before he was tacked to the ground. "Danny? Sorry about that Toothless and I were just chasing a new dragon… did you happen to see where it went." Danny glared at the dragon that sniffed him a bit before finally getting off of him so he could see Hiccup and speaking. "You just missed it… besides that looked like the dragon friend of mine I told you about but with different colored scales."
Hiccup got off of Toothless now as Danny went into thought before speaking to them again. "That dragon looked a lot like her brother at first before it changed so to have white scales, before all of a sudden disappearing in mid air." Hiccup looked at Danny skeptically who shrugged before walking off as idea's raced threw his head on what to do. When he heard wing beats Danny looked back to see Toothless had taken off before smiling at the idea that was forming in his head. With a smile he walked back to the village and grabbed an apple from a tree to eat, the first time in as long time he had human food.
Ghost food also sustained his human half too, a strange thing of being a half ghost or half demon as the vikings would say. Once in the village he helped out a few people and introduced himself to them as well, but the majority knew about him already due to the fact he was staying with the chief Stoic. Though they were a bit un-trusting at first he quickly proved to be a help to everyone and anyone that needed to be. Once he even saw Hiccup at the forge, but that was just a quick glimpse before he continued moving around barrels. Most of the population though was happy and it got on his nerves a bit due to his ghost half that was able to sustain itself on it.
-Flash Back-
Danny was walking down the street thinking about something he had noticed recently with his two best friends Sam and Tucker. "Are you alright dude, your awfully quiet and it's starting to get real creepy." Tucker spoke and Sam looked at Danny with worry in her eye's before he let out a sigh and spoke. "Sorry it's just… recently I haven't been that hungry, at first I thought it was a side effect of being half ghost but I'm not so sure now." "Well, what exactly is the problem… I mean I can get it if your not hungry all the time, but the way you say it makes me think something is."
Sam spoke and looked at Danny who shrugged before finally looking at some people who were laughing with each other. The others followed his gaze, and right before any of them could say anything though Danny spoke again. "For some reason whenever I get hungry there is a lack of a certain emotion in the area like happiness, love, or joy. This makes me feel like Spectra who feeds on peoples misery in order to make herself stronger." With that Danny shivered causing his friends to look at each other for a minute before finally Sam spoke.
"That actually makes some sense… as we know some ghosts can feed off of emotions and you always try to make people happy. This probably has something to do with your obsession of protecting people Danny… at least I think it does." "Gee, thanks Sam now I feel like a parasite of sorts that needs people to be happy to live." Sam smiled sheepishly as Danny spoke while Tucker continued to mess with his PDA until he spoke. "If that's the way you look at it Danny no wonder your getting depressed… think of it this way you live in a symbiotic food chain instead. I mean the more you try to make people happy the better you are, and in return they actually give you energy."
Danny and Sam looked at Tucker who was still messing with his PDA until he looked up at them and seeing their faces he spoke again. "I've been reading a few comic book's lately and just started to read about Spider man and a symbiote named Venom. Apparently Venon wanted a more symbiotic relationship with the person it bonded with, in the Secret Wars comic series. Long story short in return for survival it gave Spider man increased strength and abilities but made him more aggressive as a side effect."
"Basically your like Venom in a way, you feed off of positive emotions and in return you make others happy. This in returns makes the happy and the cycle just goes on and on… its rather simple if you think about it like that." Tucker shrugged and went back to messing with his PDA while Sam and Danny continued to stair at him in shock. Finally after a few minutes Sam decided to speaking ending the awkward silence that had settled upon them. "Tucker makes a good point, Danny you live in a symbiotic relationship with people due to your ghost half. In the end I think you can say that it makes you stand out a bit more as a protector of sorts instead of like your enemies." Danny after a bit of thought smiled and the three friends continued on their way home from school after that.
-End Flash Back-
It was now time for supper and Danny followed people to the great hall this time to get something to eat even if he could only eat very little. If he knew anything so far about Berk it was that with the dragons and people living together like they are he might never go hungry again. He would still eat though even if it was just for the flavor rather than the nutrients in the food itself now. Upon arriving he was given some food and sat down at an empty table before any of the other teens arrived. As he slowly ate the food though his mind wondered going threw many old memories as he thought about his past.
-Flash Back-
Danny stood by the stove cooking some food instead of letting his parents or sister cook due to how bad it could be. His sister burnt the food most of the time, but he was at least grateful that it didn't come alive like when his parents did it. Soon the turkey was done and Danny took it out of the oven and put it on the table where his sister sat reading a book. "Hey Jazz think you can put your book down and go get our parents to let them know supper is done?" Jazz, Danny's older sister looked up from her book and upon seeing the regular food smiled before going to get them.
Soon all four Fentons were eating dinner, and three of them were enjoying it the most while only one slowly ate it. Maddie and Jack were always surprised when Danny cooked for them, but recently after he hasn't been that hungry. Maddie looked at her husband as he ate away at the turkey that Danny had cooked before speaking. "Danny, is something wrong you barley ate anything of the meal you cooked yourself, like last time." Jazz looked at Danny who shrugged before swallowing some of the food he was eating and speaking. "Sorry if I'm not eating that much, but recently I've been finding that the school lunches are very filling for some reason. It's nothing really to be worried about, and I have a few fruits in a bowl in my room if I get hungry later tonight."
"Well… alright sweetie, you do know that if anything is bothering you, we will be here for you right?" Danny nodded before smiling and finishing his meal he got up and rinsed his plate off before heading upstairs to work on his homework. Jack who stayed quiet threw the whole thing looked at Danny's retreating forum before swallowing and speaking. "I know how you feel Mads… Danny has become more distant with us ever sense the accident… hey I know why don't we go camping?" Jazz looked at her dad like he was crazy and Maddie looked shocked before he finally laughed and spoke again.
"I know this must be very surprising, but we do have a few inventions that could work well for camping and it would give us a great time to bond." At this Maddie and Jazz smiled, for this was typical of Jack Fenton before they all laughed and started to plan things out together.
-End Flash Back-
Danny finished eating just as the first of the teens arrived and left to head back tot he hut he was staying in. None of the teens noticed him though, but Stoic did and he frowned upon seeing the look on Danny's face. The teen was in mourning right now and remembering his own life before the ship wreak, but something told him otherwise. This teen had a spark in his eye's and a look that reminded him of older vikings who fought and scene things that others haven't. He knew that a teen like Danny shouldn't have that look yet, he was so young, but still he had it for some reason.
Danny upon arriving back at the hut quickly got back into the hammock he set up and started to try and fall asleep. This didn't work well and Danny stayed awake looking at the ceiling of the hut until Hiccup came back. He went unnoticed and Toothless came in and laid down near Hiccup as he sat at his desk working on something. This caused the halfa to get curious and moving a bit he could see some of the things that Hiccup was working on. Right away he could tell that this viking was an inventor and in many ways similar to himself, but also different in way.
That was when his eye's were drawn to Hiccups fake leg and his mind wondered what could of happened to cause it. Toothless now noticed him and growled alerting Hiccup that he wasn't alone, but when the dragon stopped growling he relaxed. Turning around Hiccup saw Danny in his hammock looking at him curiously before shaking his head and speaking. "Why am I not surprised that your here… I take it that we just missed you at the great hall?" Danny nodded before smiling and after a bit of thought decided to do talk about his past a bit. "You know my parents were inventors… they were the only family I had left, besides a crazy fruit loop of an uncle who isn't really related in any way to me."
Danny chuckled at the memory of a certain prank he pulled with Tucker's and Sam's help that worked out so well. "I had a crazy family… my uncle who's name is Vlad wanted to kill my dad, marry my mom, and make me his son/apprentice. As for my parents they were always interested in the supernatural making it kind of hard to have friends, because of how interesting they were." Hiccup looked at Danny surprised that he was talking about his family and Toothless let out a yawn before going out the window above his bed to sleep on the roof on this warm night. "Surprisingly I still had two friends… one was like Fishlegs very knowledgeable, but skinny like me and only ate meat. Than there was another one like Astrid but she only wore dark clothing, and only ate vegetables, kind of her way to rebel against her happy parents."
Hiccup had to laugh as he imagined Danny's friends in his mind while Danny also laughed a bit before continuing. "Both of them died though, along with my parents and sister so even if I do go back I have to stay with my crazy fruit loop of an uncle who I don't like… I think the only bright side to staying here on Berk is that I don't have to worry about him or any of the gh… enemies I made while back at my old village." Danny had almost slipped and Hiccup caught it, but the viking at the time knew that it wouldn't be a good idea to push him anymore.
"Well it sounds like you have an interesting family… it's getting late though, so I'm off to bed." With that Hiccup turned blew out the candle and climbed into bed wondering what else Danny would tell him about his past. Danny stayed up a while longer before drifting off himself, but he had another dream that night, that was different than the one before. In it Danny was flying over Berk while it went up in flames and than he saw Dan down below, but something kept him from going down.
The dream shifted and Danny was now in the Ghost Zone and stopped as he looked down at Dora's kingdom. "Don't think anyone can see you… I just wanted to tell you real quick that all your friends in the Ghost Zone are doing fine. I've been keeping them well informed, and keeping your bad guys in the dark really… they aren't really that hard to trick." Danny looked over at the white haired ghost who floated next to him with his arms crossed and looking at the palace, namely Dora as she went about her business. "How are you even able to do this… most of the powers I've scene you use so far I only scene few ghosts be able to use."
The white haired ghost look away from him with a slight smile on his face before looking at him directly and speaking. "I have many powers that I worked on due to my age and many of them only a few ghosts have… another thing I won't really tell you about. Now onto the real reason your here, as you know you have been plagued by nightmares, and as part of this agreement I said I will keep the damage that Dan has brought you away. Basically I'm influencing your dreams while you sleep the best I can without my job getting in the way, also I know your curious as to what is happening in Amity Park."
Danny nodded and soon the area around them faded away and was replaced with a calm Amity Park at night. There was a small crater where Fenton Works use to be, not really that surprising before the ghost spoke again. "Welcome to Amity Park, the former ghost capital of the world… the title went back to the original now that your parents portal is gone." The white haired ghost went and duplicated before sending one of his copies out to deal with something he had been working on lately. "Uh… what exactly are you doing… and can you please give me a name so I know what to call you by at least?" "Why now… call me Atlas for now, as for why I duplicated I've been dealing with some legal issues at the bank on buying the property. Apparently sense you disappeared and the place went up in a big explosion the bank want's to make sure no one can get their hands on it, namely because of the GiW."
With that the ghost floated up a bit looking around before sighing and coming back to level with Danny spoke again. "Vlad has lost it trying to find you in the human world and Ghost Zone so I also have to deal with him and his attempts to find you. Than I have been messing with his cloning program when I can get the chance, which reminds me I saved a female clone from being manipulated by him. I'm also trying to destroy the other clones and the DNA sample he has from you while making it look like a lab accident, along with any other failed attempts at cloning you. I may send her your way in the future by the way for the sake of family… after I get a few things made in the Ghost Zone for her and training. Basically I'm just going to download all the knowledge she needs into her head… oh yeah she's in my layer at the moment stabilizing so you know."
Atlas went into thought about this for a moment while Danny looked at him with both surprise and disgust on his face at the mention he was cloned. For a moment nothing happened until a smile appeared on his face as another idea came into his head. "I won't go into the exact details but I will be sending her around the time I will come to visit for about a day or two. Basically get away from everyone and say your going to do some survival training or something along that line to the vikings. It's also almost time you woke up so, know that this girl Phantom calls herself Dani with an 'I' short for Danielle, but I taken to calling her 'Dan-I' due to your names being so similar."
With that Danny nodded and everything became a mist before he woke up having one of the best nights of sleep he has had in a long time. That was until he heard a banging on the roof that startled him, and caused the halfa to fall out of his hammock. Groaning he got up to see Hiccup looking curiously at him and chuckling as well at his misfortune before getting off the floor. "I take it your not a morning person?" Hiccup spoke as he looked at the teen who nodded before stretching in a way that made several bones snap in his back causing the viking to flinch before leaving.
Danny just walked down the stairs and got to the bottom just in time to hear Hiccup take off on Toothless. The halfa though simply stared at the door for a bit before shrugging and walking off to go into the woods. The thought of him having more family due to Vlad was actually great, but it made him shiver on how that family came to be. He knew that Dani wouldn't want to talk about it but the more he thought about it the more happy he seemed to get about her. "I think that I could now say I officially have a younger sister now… but how on earth did she turn into a she anyways?"
Danny shook his head and thought more about it before remembering Jazz and this made him feel sad. He could never replace Jazz he knew that, and no matter how much he wanted too he knew he couldn't bring them back. The more he thought about it the more he realized that he hasn't really moved on from anyone especially Sam. The halfa knew he was in love with her and no matter what he wouldn't get over her, but he had to try due to how she would act if she saw him now. With that in mind Danny walked towards the old arena with the intention of having some fun in his mind instead of training like he always been doing sense the accident. A smile crept upon his face that was genuine as he thought of something to do, and making an invisible duplicate they went their own ways.
