Ch.4 - Feats of Wonder and Ominous Places

"Their it is." Danny speeds off in the direction of a snowy mountain range. "Is that a floating mountain range?" " Yeah sort of. We're going to go through that large ice tunnel on the side."

Drew starts rubbing her hands together. "Is it me or did it just suddenly get cold all of a sudden." "Oh! That's normal. This is the coldest place in the ghost zone after all." They all land just inside the tunnel. Doyle starts rubbing his arms vigorously. "Anyone got a jacket?" "If I did I would be wearing it." Doc and Drew join him attempting to warm up.

"It's gotta be below freezing here." Doc looks at his wrist computer. "According to this it's already negative 17 degrees." "Y-you have a thermometer in their?" Drew starts forward with Danny. "Came in handy didn't it?" "It shouldn't be too long before were out of the tunnel but the wind will probably make it colder." "Let's hope we last that long without freezing." Doyle looks over to Danny who seems unfazed by the cold. "Ah geez why isn't he cold?"

As they continue to walk the exit comes into view. "Finally." Ice cracking was heard and Danny looks around. "I'm pretty sure I heard something." Danny walks over to an ice cove and cracks the wall he leaned against, causing a ton of snow to fall on him. Doyle runs over to help dig him out. "Doc." "I know honey, we're surrounded." Doyle looks over. "By what?"

Four large, fury snow beast jump down to surround them. They quickly point their spears causing Doyle, Doc and Drew to raise their hands in surrender. Danny pokes his hand through the snow. "What is your business here!" "They can talk?" Doyle retorts. One of them spots Danny's hand. "There appears to be another one over here." He pulls Danny partially out of the snow and points his spear at him.

As Danny knocks the snow off himself one of them notices the D on his chest. "Wait! Put down you weapons, that's Danny Phantom!" The other three are shocked and begin to mutter amongst themselves. The leader then walks over and kneels before Danny. "You honor us with your visit Great One. Frostbite will be most pleased at your return."

He gets up and steps aside for Danny to get through. "Forgive us for pointing our weapons at you we were merely on guard." Danny steps out of the snow. "What's going on?" "Nothing really but you can never be too careful." The four snow beast's motion for them to follow. "I am sure you and your party are in a hurry, we will guide you."

They move forward and Danny and the others follow. "So who are they?" Drew asks looking at her four new fury guides. "They are members of a tribe called the FarFrozen. They live here in this mountain range." Doyle walks up behind Danny. "So what was that Great One business?" "He's our hero!" One of the beasts said. "Savior of the ghost zone!" Another one chimed in. "Wow… they really seem to reverie you." Danny became embarrassed and rubbed the back of his head.

They eventually arrived in an open area where of the FarFrozen were out and about. "Wait here. I will go tell Frostbite you're here." "Hey, you think you could get us some jackets… I'm f-freezing." Doyle continued to look around when another tribesman handed him a stack of blankets. "Thanks man!" He quickly rapped himself and handed the others to Doc and drew. The tribesmen bowed. "We are happy to serve Danny Phantom and his esteemed followers." Then he left.

"Followers?" Drew nudged him. "Just go with it." A larger Tribesmen approached in blue and immediately grabbed Danny in a big hug. "Oh Danny it is great to see you once more!" "Oka-y Put me down!" He set him down gently. "The gelatin you brought the other day was wonderful despite that it was frozen."

He looked over to see his company. "Hello their friends of Danny, I am Frostbite leader of the FarFrozen. It is a pleasure." He greeted them and bowed. "So Great One, what brings you here with such strange company?" "Well we have a problem I think you can help with. You see their son accidentally fell into a ghost portal that spawned near Lake Eerie, and I was thinking we could use the Infi-map to figure out where it let out inside the ghost zone."

Frostbite gratefully clasped his hands together. "Of course! The map knows all portals, past and future! I will be happy to go and retrieve it for you." With that Frostbite left them. "So this map will tell us right?" Doyle still shook from the cold. "It should and according to Frostbite it will." "But you told us it was impossible to map this place out." Doc said still very skeptical.

"This map is special. It changes with the ghost zone and knows where portals will be even before they form. It knows the location of every realm in the ghost zone. Of course being the only map of its kind makes it very valuable to some hoping to misuse it." "This explains why they were so hostel before." "Yes, it has been stolen before." Doyle continued to look around at the many caves in the area. "Who would guess something like that was here?"

After a few minutes Frostbite came running up holding the map. "Now where did you say the portal opened up?" "Near the west bank of Lake Eerie." Frostbite unrolled the map and it began to change. Then the glow vanished and a small ball of light came out of it. "Here we go." It expanded to form a large ancient castle. "…Of all the places they could have ended up." Frostbite expression became solemn. "Yes we do have a problem."

Drew walked up to them. "Why? What's wrong with that castle?" Her panic was obvious. Frostbite rolled the map back up and sighed. "This place is known as Pariah's Keep." "It's the home of the ghost king." Doc rubbed his chin as he thought. "I think Zak showed me a TV special about you that mentioned this ghost king." Danny gave him a puzzled look. "I have a TV special?" "Man, you have your own billboard in Amity Park." "We saw that coming into town." "Their used to be two but one of them was eaten." They all gave him weird looks. "Hey if they want to eat a billboard…. Anyway back to the map."

"Yes this is not a venture to be taken lightly." "From what I can remember, the castle only has the ghost king in it." "Yes but the Fright Knight has a smaller castle not too far away and getting his attention would be bad." "No he's with Plasmious now so he probably will pay less attention to his former master, after all he hasn't tried anything yet right?" "That is a good point."

Danny turned to the others. "Alright let's go." Frostbite put his hand on Danny's shoulder. "Me and Tundra shall accompany you in case you all run into trouble." "Tundra?" "Oh! He was the one who brought you here." Frostbite pointed to him next to the other three guards.

"This place is so much bigger in person." Doyle walked over to the entrance. Danny flew up near the top to get an aerial view. "I don't see them outside, so they must be inside. It's not like they could have left the area, what with it floating this high up." Doc and Drew followed Doyle inside then Danny flew in to take the lead.

Danny turned to find Frostbite and Tundra frozen in place outside. "You coming in?" They seemed to snap out of it and walked in. "Sorry Danny, coming in this place makes one uneasy sometimes." "Well I'm not trying to make you co-" Danny was cut short by chill that ran up his spine. Doyle noticed Danny shake. "What? Now your cold?" Frostbite, knowing what that meant, became serious. "Where is it?" Doc, Drew and Doyle all became confused. "Where's what?" Danny turned to see another green glowing Saber cat just behind them.

Frostbite and Tundra quickly took action getting the three of them out of the way. "You're kidding! Another one?" "Yeah, only this one's three times bigger and with horns." It stared Danny down but he glared back. It roared and a beam of light shot from its horn creating a barrier around the two of them.

Frostbite charged the wall with Tundra right behind him. "No! Danny!" His attempts to break the barrier proved fruitless. "Don't worry about me! Go find Zak and Fisk!" Though reluctant at first, they eventually heeded his advice to move on. "Tundra, you will go with them. Make sure they don't run into trouble." Tundra bowed. "Yes sir." He then quickly followed the Saturdays up the steps of the main hall. "I will not abandon you Danny Phantom!"

-

"You think Phantom's going to be alright back their?" Doc took the lead. "From what I can tell, he can hold his own." Drew grabbed Doc's arm. "And I thought you couldn't stand him." Doc laughed. "That was just my pride. I just didn't want to admit a kid was stronger than me." Doyle tries to poke fun. "So the big man takes a bite of humble pie eh?" Doc glares at Doyle. "I wouldn't be talking if I were you. That means he's way stronger than you too." Doyle seemed dumbfounded. "But he… no its…" "Hmm sounds like a burn to me little brother." Doyle frantically looks around for a way to change the subject when he notices a large hole in the wall ahead.

"Hey look at that!" They all run over to it. It was a large round room covered in characters with winding stairs leading up to a sarcophagus. "Wow.. This room is creepy." Drew took an extra special interest in the ancient characters. "These characters… look to be more than 2000 years old maybe older. They also seem to be European like the ones used by alchemists or mages."

Doyle took a good look at them. "Can you read them?" Drew continued to scan them. "A few… that one means ruler…. And that one means power of god." Doc was over at the sarcophagus. "Hey Drew, I think these are in ancient Sumerian." Drew ran over to meet him and traced her hand over the front. "Just these ones here. Lets' see…. "The wrath of the god is sealed within cursed to sleep for eternity."

Tundra who had just caught up to them, instantly tried to get them away from it. "Stop! Get away from their now!" They all turned to him. "That is the sarcophagus of forever sleep where Danny Phantom resealed the Ghost king!" The three of them back away as asked. "Mom?" Tundra turns to see a boy next to him.

Drew seeing him immediately runs over with Doc and Doyle not far behind. "Oh my baby!" Drew shouts as she wraps him in a hug. "Momma was so worried about you!" "You should be more careful mini man." Doc joins in the hug and spots Fisk running up behind Zak. "This whole place is awesomely creepy! Fisk won't stop freaking out."

When Fisk catches up they notice how scared he was and that he was babbling incoherently. (This place…. That thing… all the noises!) Doc gives Fisk a pat the back. "Calm down. We're here now." Fisk lets out a sigh of relief. "So how did you guys find us?" "Danny and a little help from this guy." Zak breaks from them and walks up to Tundra. "So are you like some kind of snow monster?" "No I am a FarFrozen warrior." "Hmm?" "Come now. We need to head back to Danny Phantom."

When they got back down to the area where Danny was they saw Frostbite covering his ears. "Lord Frostbite!" He turned and motioned for them to cover their ears as well. "What is that huge thing!?" "It's a ghost mini man. Danny got trapped by it when we first got here."

Suddenly they all started to hear an extremely loud wailing and covered their ears in response. "What… is that!?" Frostbite ran to them. "Danny is inflicting the final blow!" after a minute or two it stopped and they uncovered their ears. The large ghost collapsed to its side to reveal a tattered and beaten Danny. "He was able to destroy its horn to remove the barrier but not before the close quarters combat took its toll."

Zak began to walk towards Danny with the others just behind. Seconds before they reached him he collapsed to his knees and passed out. He was beaten up pretty badly with a large scratch on his side just below his right arm. They area where they had been fighting looked like a tornado hit it.

Frostbite picks up Danny. "With that barrier up for most of the battle I wasn't able to give very much help and for that I am sorry my friend." A ring of light suddenly appeared around Danny but disappeared quickly. "What was that?" "That's how Danny changes back and forth from human to ghost, right Fisk?" Fisk nods in agreement. "Then that's only proof of his Valor! Come now! Let's get back before anything else shows up.
