I don't own Danny Phantom.

Danni could feel all of her blood rushing to her head as she looked down. She could survive the fall but it would get Valentine curious. And Valentine plus curiosity was never a good idea…

Timepiece glanced between Valentine, Danni, and Skulker. Knowing Danni, she'd kill him if he revealed himself to Valentine. She wouldn't care if he was already dead. She'd find some way to kill him.

Valentine was panicking. He'd never thought that Skulker would go after Danni. He'd always thought that Phantom would go after Danni to get to him. He bit his lip. After the whole thing with Daniel Phantom and Vlada Masters, he'd been starting to think that maybe Danni Phantom wasn't that bad of a chick.

Danni was the first of the group to continue doing something. She was beginning to get a little lightheaded from hanging upside down. She brought her foot back, preparing to kick Skulker.

Before she could do anything, Skulker was suddenly hit in the back with an ectoblast.

Thinking quickly, she turned her foot intangible and slipped out of the claw before Valentine could notice. She was caught by a familiar white-haired boy.

"Danny?" Danni asked.

Danny Phantom smiled. "Hey, Danni." He flew down to the ground and set her down. "Give me half a second to defeat Skulker here." He flew back into the air.

"Danni!" Valentine and Timepiece yelled, running over to her.

"I'm fine," Danni assured them.

Valentine looked back into the fight. "I thought Phantom was a girl."

Danni blushed. "She is. That's a close friend of hers."

Danny sucked Skulker into a thermos. He looked down at Danni and Timepiece and yelled something in Ghost before disappearing.

"Well, don't you have work?" Danni asked Valentine quickly, glancing at where Danny had just disappeared from.

Valentine checked his watch. "Shoot!" He waved goodbye before running into the Nasty Burger.

"C'mon," Danni said, grabbing Time's hand. "Valentine may have work, but so do we. We've gotta get to the Ghost Zone!"

….

Danni and Timepiece's pearly white boots touched the ground in front of Clockwork's tower less than ten minutes later.

Danni shook her white bangs out of her neon green eyes before smiling at Timepiece. "You're pretty good at flying. Bet I can beat you in a race later, though." She tossed her braid over her shoulder and, with her usual smirk, walked past him and into the Time Master's lair.

Clockwork had her back to them but knew that they were there. "He's here," she said without turning around.

Sure enough, Danny hovered over them, sitting in midair, tossing a ball of ectoenergy against the wall.

"Hey," he said, catching the ball and absorbing it. "Nice to see you guys again."

Timepiece blinked. "I thought you were stuck in detention."

Danny smirked. "I was. But Spectra and Bertrand just had to come in and overshadow Lancer and Dash. I fought them out and captured them but Lancer and Dash passed out so I just left."

Danni snorted. "Weak. They weren't even able to fight them off? Pathetic!"

Clockwork shot her a glare.

"And I'm sorry for speaking before I thought." She looked down at her boots.

Clockwork smirked and returned her attention to the time screens.

"Well you saved little Miss Ghost Hunter Girl from revealing her secret to that Valentine kid!" Timepiece said.

Danni pinched the bridge of her nose. "Note to self, describe in detail the dangers of Valentine Gray and him knowing our secrets."

Behind her, Clockwork smirked knowingly.

"Valentine Gray?" Danny asked. He chuckled. "You never know when we'll need Red's help."

"Who's Red?" Timepiece asked.

Danni and Danny looked at each other.

The doors slammed open as a familiar figure walked in.

"I'm here," Fishtail said, panting.

He looked horrible. His raven hair was matted with blood. He had a black eye forming and there was a cut on his cheek, oozing red and green blood. His shirt was torn and his arms were littered with bruises and cuts. Blood trickled down his leg from his knee. He was barefoot and his feet had little scratches on them.

Timepiece nearly threw up. Danni and Danny merely winced.

"Geez, Fish," Danni said as she made him sit down on one of the gears. "Which bus did you get run over with?"

He glared at her. "Ha ha. Have you ever been attacked by fifteen enemies at once?"

"Actually, yeah," Danny said, encasing one of Fish's arms in ice to heal him.

"Seems like Fish Boy got himself caught up in some trouble."

"Daniel!" Time yelled.

The ghost hunter leaned against the wall arms folded with his usual smirk on his face. His hood was down, revealing his raven hair. His blue eyes were on the Phantoms healing Fishtail.

Danny looked up and smiled. "Hey, Daniel."

Daniel gave him a sloppy salute. "Hey, Ghostie."

Danni spread some ice over the black eye. "Good to see ya, Daniel." She looked around. "Looks like we're all here."

Daniel rolled his eyes but smiled anyway.

"Well…" Danni flicked her wrist and a table with five chairs all made out of ice appeared in the middle of the room. She sat down. "Let's discuss things."

The boys looked at each other before shrugging and sitting down.

"So what's this urgent mission?" Danny asked, leaning back in his chair.

Timepiece looked at him. "I know you're familiar with Pariah Dark."

Danny nodded. "Course I am. Why?"

Danni flicked her wrist again and a sculpture of a female version of Pariah Dark appeared in the center of the table. "This is his female counterpart, Queen Dark." She slid the book onto the table. "She's escaped. Dunno how but I'm gonna find out. Our mission is to take her down."

Daniel looked at her. "Why can't you do it yourself?"

She shook her head before flicking her braid over her shoulder. "Dark's a powerful foe. I almost died the last time I fought her."

Danny shivered from the memory.

"But," Danni smirked. "We can defeat her together." She smiled. "Danni Phantom." She placed her hand in the center of the table.

Danny smiled. "Danny Phantom." He placed his hand on top of hers.

Fishtail added his hand to the pile. "Danny Fishtail."

Timepiece and Daniel looked at each other before adding their hands to the pile.

"Timepiece, Apprentice of Time."

"The White Hunter."

"Dimension Chasers!" they said together.

….

Samuel "Sam" Manson checked his watch again before sighing. He was slightly tall with violet eyes, pale skin, and black hair. He wore black and green plaid pants, combat boots, a spikey choker, and a black t-shirt with a violet skull on it. His fingernails were painted black and he wore thick eyeliner.

Behind him, Tamara Foley sat on the steps in front of her house. She was an African American girl with long curly black hair tucked under a red beret and dark green eyes behind a pair of glasses. She wore a yellow sweater that cut off at her midriff and green pants. On her feet were a pair of brown hiking boots.

Sam growled. "Where is she? She promised to go shopping with us for the dance tomorrow night!"

Tamara shrugged. "Maybe she had something going on that's making her late. James did say that Clockwork wanted to see her."

"Hey guys!"

Tamara and Sam looked up to see Danni standing in front of them in her jeans and t-shirt.

"Danni!" Tamara said, getting up. "What did Clockwork have to say?"

Danni shook her head. "I'll tell you later. But…" She smiled. "We have some people tagging along."

Sam sighed. "Who?"

Danny suddenly appeared behind his female counterpart. He wore his jeans and sneakers but also had on a black hoodie.

"Danny?" Sam and Tamara asked.

Fishtail appeared next to him, wearing his normal t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops.

"Fish?"

Timepiece appeared on Danni's other side, hovering an inch above the ground in the same clothes he'd worn to the Nasty Burger earlier. His black and white hair floated in an imaginary breeze.

"Timepiece?"

There was a tap on Tamara's shoulder and she turned around to see Daniel sitting behind her. He wore a pair of black pants and a black sweatshirt but, judging by the black collar that poked out from the sweatshirt and the gloves on his hands and boots on his feet, it was obvious he was wearing his HAZMAT suit underneath.

"Daniel?"

Sam turned to Danni and folded his arms. "Okay, why are they here?"

Danny smiled. "Dimension Chaser Mission."

"Wha—"

"Queen Dark," Daniel said. He brushed a couple strands of black hair out of his blue eyes. "She's escaped. And since Girly over here doesn't have the ectoskeleton, she's gonna need some back up."

Samuel smirked at Danni. "Girly?"

"Shut up."

Danny laughed. "Hey, he calls me Ghostie, I think my nickname's worse."

Tamara folded her arms. "So what do you want us to do?"

"Nothing's changed with you and me, Tam," Danni said. "We're still going shopping for a dress for tomorrow night's dance. Sam, things have changed with you."

"Wha-?" Sam started.

Time was suddenly by his side. "We're going to the dance tomorrow night so we need something to wear."

Sam sighed and took out his wallet. "Fine. But if my parents ask about this, I am so not telling them I spent the money buying suits and ties for the alternate versions of one of my best friends."

Timepiece smiled. "That's okay! Danni will explain! Right, Danni?" He turned around to find that Danni and Tamara were gone.

"Oh well," Danny said, walking up next to Time. "Race you to the mall!" There was a bright flash and a blur of black and white shot into the sky.

Timepiece laughed before grabbing Sam's wrist. "C'mon, Goth boy!" He shot into the air carrying Sam.

Fish and Daniel watched from the sidewalk.

"Well, at least we can walk together," Fishtail said.

Daniel smirked and pressed a button on his watch. It was then that Fishtail realized that the ghost hunter's boots were rocket boots.

"Don't think so, Fish boy!" Daniel joked before flying off.

Fishtail watched him until he was gone. "Can everyone on our team fly except me?"

…

Danni and Tamara wandered through the mall, looking through the windows.

"It's weird doing things that normal teenage girls would do," Danni commented.

Tamara laughed and adjusted her glasses. "Yeah, it is. It's interesting doing something normal for a change."

Danni smiled but quickly frowned. "Looks like the next few days are going to be busy. Sorry."

Tamara smiled. "Danni, you do realize Sam and I love helping you out."

"Fine, but if you get even a paper cut, I'm sending you two back home," the halfa responded.

"I know. Hey! There's the store!"

Danni barely had time to react before she was pulled into a nearby store.

"What should I get?" Tam asked.

Danni leafed through some dresses. "Oh! How about this one?" She pulled out a knee length green dress with short sleeves.

Tam shook her head. "Oh! But I have a dress for you to try on!" She tossed a blue outfit at her friend.

Danni glanced at the fabric before sighing and walking towards the changing rooms.

…

Sam stared curiously at Danny, Fish, Time, and Daniel. "So let me get this straight. You guys all want the same style suit?"

Danny nodded. "Duh! Sam, we're literally the same person just from different dimensions." He turned to a display of ties. "But you're gonna need some way to tell us apart. So…" He grabbed a neon green tie, the exact same color as ectoplasm. "I call green! So you can tell that I'm me because, ya know, ghostly halfa and Ghost Zone and ectoplasm."

Fishtail smiled. "I got blue!" He grabbed a blue tie. "Blue for water."

Timepiece jumped up and down before grabbing a black tie… and making the other guys hope that no one saw him defy gravity for a split second. "I choose black to match my Apprentice outfit!"

Daniel smirked at Time's overexcited behavior. "I guess I'll pick white since I'm the White Hunter."

Sam grabbed a violet tie and looked at the guys. "So it's settled? This is what you guys want?"

The other guys nodded.

"Fine," Sam said, taking out his wallet. "I'm buying."

….

Danni observed herself on the mirror with a smile. Seems like Tamara had other talents besides technology and flirting with every guy at school. She was pretty good with fashion.

Tamara had picked out a strapless midnight blue top that showed her midriff and a matching floor length skirt. She also wore a pair of blue gloves in the same color as the rest of the outfit and the same style as her Danni Phantom gloves.

There was one thing Tamara didn't cover though: shoes.

Danni's eyes changed from an icy blue to a neon blue and within a second her feet were encased in a pair of sandals made out of ice.

"Danni?" Tamara asked from outside the changing room. "Are you done?"

"Yeah!" the halfa yelled back, stepping outside of the changing room. "How do I look?"

"Nice!" Tamara smiled. "How about me?"

While Danni was changing into the clothes Tam had picked out for her, Tamara had gone and found a dress for herself. It was a yellow floor length dress with long trumpet sleeves and a dark green belt. She wore brown heels on her feet but still wore her beret and glasses.

"Pretty good. But…" Danni grabbed her female friend's beret and replaced it with a gold headband with a red flower on it. With a second of hesitation, she removed Tam's glasses as well. "That's better."

"I don't know, Danni. I probably look terrible." She reached for her glasses and beret but her hand passed right through them.

Danni turned the objects tangible again. "I don't think so!" she said, a ghost of a smirk on her face.

"Dan-ni!" Tamara whined. "Give them back!"

Danni was about to respond before she gasped and her breath was visible for half a second.

Tamara smirked, having seen her do that many times in the past year. She took that as a victory.

Her female friend scowled before disappearing back into the changing rooms again and reappearing a second later in her normal jeans, red and white t-shirt, and red and white sneakers.

"Here," she said, tossing the top, skirt, and gloves into Tam's arms. "Buy these for me. I'll meet you at the food court in five minutes." She paused. "Five minutes to an hour. I'll meet you there eventually."

Without waiting for a response, she shot off, heading for the exit of the store. Who normally attacked the mall? She sighed. Techna. Great, she'd have to deal with the woman's "take over the world" speech again. Techna probably planned out that speech more than she planned out the actual attack.

"Hey, look who it is!"

Danni froze at the familiar voice as Dara Baxter stepped in front of her path.

"Dara!" Danni squeaked out. "What brings you to the mall?"

Dara flicked her ponytail over her shoulder. "Shopping for a dress. Where are you going, Fentoad?" She observed Danni's fidgety figure and shifty glances. The cheerleader smiled cruelly. "Ooooh! It's the same place you go when you leave class, isn't it?"

Danni took a step back. This town is getting smarter, she thought.

Dara smirked. "It is! Wanna tell me where you go when you leave? Hmmm?"

Danni frowned. "Ms. Lancer put you up to this, didn't she?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out."

The shorter girl was about to respond when she noticed a violet meteor-like blast hurtling towards them. "Dara! Look out!" She quickly shoved the taller girl into a clothing rack with strength Dara didn't know the girl possessed.

Unfortunately, saving Dara didn't allow Danni enough time to kick in her reflexes and dodge the blast. It hit her full on. She was thrown backwards a good twenty feet before landing in a heap on the cold floor, bangs blocking her face.

Dara glanced over at Danni with a gasp. Had she just saved her life? Life. Crud.

Dara ran over to the other sophomore. Danni's chest was rising and falling normally so she was still breathing.

"F-F-Fenton?" the cheerleader asked to check if she was still awake.

"I'm still alive," Danni responded, not looking up but trying, and succeeding, to hide the pain in her voice.

A shadow fell over the two girls and they both looked up to see a knight-like ghost with violet flames for a cape and around her helmet. The ghost cast a glance at Dara before looking at Danni and speaking rapidly in a language Dara didn't recognize.

"Hello, whelp," the Fright Knight said in Ghost although Danni understood her perfectly.

Danni looked at Dara and, in English, said, "Dara. Run."

"Wha—"

"I SAID RUN!" the girl yelled, using all her willpower to prevent her fangs from growing in.

That was all it took to get the cheerleader moving. She ran out of the store faster than a hybrid on a sugar high.

"Humans are pathetic," the Fright Knight stated in English.

Danni's fist rammed into the side of her head. "So are you!"

The knight shrugged off the blow. "I have been ordered to destroy you. If you are destroyed, Queen Dark shall reign forever."

"Queen Dark shall reign forever?" Danni repeated. She gasped. "You freed Queen Dark! When the Observants hear of this, they're going to destroy YOU!"

"Yes, I freed Queen Dark," the Fright Knight said. "And now that you know, you must be destroyed!" She swung her blade at Danni, who ducked down at the last minute.

The blade slammed into a clothing rack behind the halfa and it broke and fell on her. A bright flash was seen from under it. Behind her mask, the Fright Knight smirked. She raised her sword high above her head and brought it down on the clothing rack that had fallen on Danni. It sliced it clean in half.

Danni wasn't in sight. The Fright Knight moved the clothing aside to find the Fenton girl but she'd vanished.

While she had her back turned, a figure flew through the wall and slammed into her back. The duo went tumbling intangibly through two floors before the Fright Knight fell onto a table tangibly, breaking it.

No one in the food court had expected the Ghost of Halloween to suddenly appear in the area. They stared at her for half a second in shock before screaming and running away.

The Fright Knight shook her head and looked up to see who had attacked her. It was a fifteen-year old girl in a black long-sleeved top that showed her midriff, white gloves, a black skort, and white boots. Her snow white hair was braided into a neat braid and her bangs covered her left eye. Her eyes were a bright ectoplasmic green. On her shirt was a familiar P in a D symbol.

Danni Phantom.

With a growl, the knight flew up to the second floor and hovered there as Danni flew up to meet her.

"Kinda hard to get rid of me, don'tcha think?" Danni said, throwing an ectoblast at the Fright Knight.

The Fright Knight dodged the blast, watching as it hit the railing behind her. Without responding, she threw a blast at the halfa girl. Danni dodged and watched as it hit a table below them, breaking it in half.

Something caught her eye and she turned to see Danny, Fish, Time, and Daniel running out the door amongst the crowd. Danny's eyes were on her and the Fright Knight but they were glowing green. Fishtail's eyes were also green and his fingers were webbed. Time wasn't looking at her at all and Daniel was unzipping his sweatshirt to reveal his jumpsuit underneath.

She smirked. Those guys weren't really needed but she knew they were going to come anyway.

Danni looked back at the Fright Knight just in time to dodge another violet meteor.

There was a scream from below her and she noticed that the meteor was heading straight towards a group of kids who looked about ten years old.

"No!" the halfa girl yelled, diving towards them, legs fusing into a ghost tail. She hoped she could get there in time to stop the meteor.

The meteor collided with something, causing it to explode and sending dust everywhere.

Danni blocked her face with her arm and shut her green eyes as dust flew towards her. She heard Danny and Daniel behind her, coughing. But there were no screams from the kids as the meteor crashed into them.

Timepiece flew towards the dust. "Danni? Fish? Daniel? Danny?"

"I'm here!" Danni responded, coughing.

"I'm back here!" Danny yelled, the only way he was seen though the dust was by his ghostly glow.

"I'm with him!" Daniel yelled. Danni noted that she could see the fire on the bottom of his rocket boots.

"We're missing someone…" Time noticed.

"The only one who can't fly…" Danny muttered.

The realized it together. "FISH!"

The dust was starting to clear and Danni finally saw the three boys. Daniel's HAZMAT suit wasn't pure white anymore seeing as dust and violet debris stained it. His face also had the mixture on it but his hair and eyes were protected by his hood and goggles. Danny and Timepiece had the same mixture streaking their hair and face as well as any white on their uniforms. Both of their eyes were watery from the dust in them.

Danni squinted through the dirt where the kids had been. There was a slight greenish glow around the area. She gasped and lit her hand up with green ectoplasm, zooming towards the green. The boys followed her.

Fishtail was holding up a green shield protecting the kids, three boys and a girl, from the meteor. His hair was half white and half black and his eyes were neon green. He wore a black and white DF t-shirt and blue shorts. On his feet were a pair of white flip-flops.

"FISH!" the four other Dannys yelled in happiness.

The half-merman flashed them a smile before dropping the shield.

The girl gasped as she saw the female member of the team. "You're—You're—"

Danni laughed and flashed her a smile. "Yup. I'm Danni Phantom."

One of the boys smiled. "Can I have your autograph?"

"Maybe later," she said, glancing around. "Danny!"

Danny walked forward, aware of the children watching him. "Yes?"

"Is the Fright Knight still here?" she asked.

"See for yourself."

Danni turned around. The dust was clearing and the mall was visible through the remaining powder. The villainess was nowhere in sight.

"We should get the kids out of here," Danni said. "I'll alert Officer Smith that the Fright Knight got away."

….

Sam bounced on the toes of his combat boots as he watched the mall. He knew that Danni had been doing these kinds of things for a year and that she was getting really good at it, but that didn't ease his conscience.

"Boo!" Tam yelled, jumping up behind him.

Sam smirked. "I heard your footsteps, Tamara."

Tamara sighed and looked down before looking at a nearby police officer. "Officer Smith, do you know what is going on?"

The officer frowned and shook his head. "No. The windows are cowered with dust and some sort of purple rocks and the security cameras aren't picking anything up."

A woman pushed her way to the front of the crowd. "My children are still in there!"

"Don't worry, ma'am," Officer Smith comforted. "I'm sure Ms. Phantom has them."

As if on cue, the door burst open and four kids ran out followed by a white-haired girl in a superhero outfit, a white-haired boy in a black and white HAZMAT suit, a white-haired boy in a t-shirt and shorts, a boy in oversized clothing with a cape and a hood covering his face, and a boy in a white HAZMAT suit with a hood and goggles over his hair and eyes.

"Liz! Matt! Bryan! Timothy!" the woman yelled.

The four kids ran for her but Danni stopped one of the boys.

"Here," she said, handing him a piece of paper. "You wanted my autograph."

The boy—Bryan—looked down at the piece of paper to see "Danni Phantom" written in neon green ink. The letter "D" in her first name was drawn as her DP symbol while the rest of her name was written in cursive.

"Th-Th-Thank you!" Bryan said with a smile as he ran off to join his mother and siblings.

Danni noticed Officer Smith standing near Tamara and Sam. She flipped her braid over her shoulder, adjusted her posture, and walked up to the police officer.

Officer Smith had been on her side since she had become known as a hero instead of a villain. His two kids were big fans of her. Of course, he didn't know her secret. As far as he and the rest of Amity Park knew, Danni Phantom was just another ghost.

"Officer Smith," Danni said, looking up at the man (yes, up. Officer Smith was a good foot taller than her). "I came to inform you that the ghost, the Fright Knight, managed to get away. You and the other members of the police should be looking for her to make sure she doesn't hurt anyone."

As always, Officer Smith was amazed by the maturity in the fifteen-year old girl's voice. "Of course, Ms. Phantom."

"Oh, and one more thing." She reached into her pocket and pulled out an envelope sealed with a DP symbol made out of ice. "Please deliver this to Mayor Masters."

Officer Smith looked at the letter as he took it. "This is ectoice. From what you told me, only ghostly energy can break this."

"Trust me," the Phantom girl said with a secretive smile. "She'll know how to break it."

With those words, Danni strode over to the boys.

"You guys can patrol for the rest of the day," she said in Esperanto, knowing that even Timepiece and Daniel spoke the language. "Meet me in my room and you can stay in my lair for the night."

She turned to Tamara and Sam and winked at them before taking to the sky and vanishing.

Danny followed by flying off to Elmerton. Timepiece flew off in the direction of Casper High. Daniel activated his rocket boots and took off to the Nasty Burger. Fishtail sighed and simply disappeared.

A second later, Danni Fenton pushed to the front of the crowd, pulling chunks of violet rocks out of her hair and wiping dust off of her face.

"Did I miss something?" she asked with a ghost of a smirk on her face.

My April break is next week!
