Hello once again my fellow Authors and Readers of FanFiction, well first off I hope every one appreciated their mothers, for today is Mother's Day, and it's also the latest date where I update Mother of a Phantom, so here's is the next chapter, now note I feel this one may have been a little rushed so I will wait and see feedback before I make any more edits, it's not finished editing yet and I may add more to make it feel less rushed, but I will wait and see how it's received first. So without further ado, here is the next chapter.
Chapter VI: Ghost Politics
Danny was flying through The Ghost Zone; he was on his way to the meeting with the leaders and high-ranks of The Ghost Zone. Danny felt like he had butterflies in his stomach, he was so nervous. What he was going to ask would be risky, he didn't know how some of the Ghosts would react to the news of the GIW little project. But if there was any hope of humans and ghosts living together in peace, or at least being in peace he had to convince them to give humanity a chance. Danny could see the meeting area approaching, it was an isolated and ancient looking temple, glowing white and surrounded by a luscious green jungle.
Danny veered down and landed on the ground, in the middle of a clearing where there were no trees. He looked up to see a path to the temple ahead of him. He started to make his way towards the temple, hoping everything would go off without a hitch; and in his favor. Danny didn't even get ten steps in before his advanced hearing picked up the sound of something approaching. A few seconds later he didn't need his hearing to know something was coming as the ground started to shake. Danny turned around, and what he saw would forever be imprinted in his mind. Danny barely had time to duck when he realized he was staring down the open jaws of an enormous beast. Thankfully, Danny did have quick reflects and did dodge the jaws of the beast. Danny rolled behind the beast, which turned around to face him again. Danny could now see the beast in full and he could not believe his eyes, it was a large dinosaur.
The dinosaur was a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex; its skin was a mesh of dark green and black. It had two devil-like horns on the back of its head; its eyes were set on Danny and were glowing a bloodthirsty red. Its teeth were razor sharp, its tail was long and strong, and it looked like it could break rock with one swing. It also had the incredibly tiny arms. However the most disturbing thing about the beast was its armor; or it's skeleton. The creature's skeleton looked like it was trying to emerge or burst out of the creature's skin, giving it the look of skeletal armor. The dinosaur took a step towards Danny and gave a loud, intimidating roar; before starting to charge again.
Danny didn't have much time to react, or attack, he needed to defend himself. Thinking quickly his hand started to glow green and blue as he constructed himself an Ectoplasmic shield, lined with ice to add strength to it. As the T-Rex approached him, Danny planned his movement as he raised his shield, using its strength and his super strength; he delivered a blow to the side of the creatures head. The T-Rex was caught off guard and its head fell into the ground. Danny retreated a bit as the T-Rex got back up, however it's belly started to glow red. Danny noticed the creature face him again, and reacting quickly was just able to use his shield to shield himself from the T-Rex's next attack, a breath of fire.
"Hey no fair, you can't use fire breath, you're either a T-Rex or a Dragon, pick one." Danny shouted.
The T-Rex then charged at him again, this time it's jaws open. The T-Rex bit into Danny's shield and lifted it and him up into the air. Danny used his grip and strength to keep hold of the shield as long as he could. But with the T-Rex thrashing its head around he eventually let go and went flying into a tree, knocking his head against it. The next thing Danny knew he was trying to focus, and saw the T-Rex approaching through his blurry vision. Danny's senses returned just in time to see the T-Rex prepare to use its fire breath again.
"Enough, Tyrant, control yourself!"
Danny looked to see Clockwork hovering to his left, Frostbite at his side. Clockwork had slammed his staff on the ground, and said those words in a booming and intimidating voice. But Danny had no idea who this Tyrant was, unless, Danny quickly turned his attention back to the massive ghost dinosaur in front of him. Its red eyes were set on Clockwork and Danny could have sworn it made a frown with its giant mouth. It then took a step back from him and gave a loud, echoing roar as it flipped back. Seconds later the beast started to glow and move around, like it was transforming into another from. Danny watched with amazement as the dinosaur in front of him was replaced with a humanoid figure, but this one was just as frightening.
The giant before him was twelve feet tall; it had massive talons for feet. Its skin was dark green with a bit of black, just like the dinosaur. However its skin didn't look like skin, it looked like it was a mix of skin and scales. Its body was covered in scars and cuts, probably from battle, it wore a necklace made of teeth and broken bones around his neck, but it had enough that it was big enough to just lay on its chest. Its arms were massive and looked like they could break stone in two. Its spine looked like it was painfully emerging from its back; the same with the ribs, like they sprouted out from inside and now covered its belly like armor. The creature had a humanoid head, but its teeth were insanely sharp, it wore a helmet made out of the skull of some animal and its eyes were still a piercing red. In its clawed hands it held a massive club made of rock and ectoplasm. It then looked down at him, and spoke in a deep booming and unintelligible voice.
"So this is the runt who defeated Pariah, from what you told me Clockwork, I expected a challenge."
"Yes, this is Phantom and he did defeat The Ghost King, but that does not mean I will allow you to defeat him."
"Maybe not here because it is a place of peace, but not even you can stop me from eventually reclaiming what was mine."
"Only if you defeat him."
"I can easily extinguish his puny core."
"Then tell me how he was able to defeat Pariah, where you could not?"
That somehow seemed to shut the giant ghost up. He looked at Danny one more time before letting out a loud roar of rage; he then started to walk away. With every step the ground shook under his power and weight, and his club was dragged against the ground. Danny picked himself up, still in awe over what had just happened. It seemed The Ghost Zone still had many surprises, he went over to Clockwork and Frostbite, and he wanted to know about this new ghost.
"Clockwork, who was?"
"Daniel that was Tyrant, he and his clan are some of the most powerful and ancient ghosts in the Ghost Zone."
"How ancient, you mean he's as old as you?"
"Not quite, I'm the master of time; I've existed as long as time, Tyrant and his clan however have been residents to The Ghost Zone for over sixty five million years."
"Sixty five million years, but that would put them?"
"Yes, Tyrant and his clan, known as The Predators are the ghosts of Dinosaurs, being as old as they are they've grown in power, eventually they gained the power to change their form into a more humanoid appearance." Frostbite said.
"But how do Dinosaurs have ghosts?"
"Daniel, I've told you The Ghost Zone and Earth are like a coin, you can't have one side without the other, if one goes so does the other, The Ghost Zone has existed as long as The Earth has, always has and always will, Tyrant is the leader of those who died in Earth's prehistoric times."
"How come I've never seen them or heard of them before."
"Tyrant and his group live out in a distant part of The Ghost Zone, one that resembles Pre-historic Earth, and ghosts tend not to go near that place in fear of its inhabitants, Tyrant and his clan aren't the friendliest spirits, they are also sixty five millions years old and ghosts today think of them as myths and legends instead of reality." Frostbite said.
"Are they going to be a problem?"
"Just as long as you don't get on his bad side."
"I think I'm already on his bad side, he attacked me first, why did he attack me and what did he mean reclaiming what was his?"
Frostbite looked at Clockwork, as if waiting for approval to do something. Danny looked at them, if Frostbite was asking Clockwork for approval it had to be important of a big secret, and if it had to do with him, he wanted to know.
"Frostbite, Clockwork, what's going on."
"Is it time Clockwork, can I tell The Great One now?"
"Yes, it's time Daniel knew, in order for this gathering to work, he needs to know."
"Tell me what what's going on?"
"Great One, you remember when you defeated Pariah Dark, The Ghost King?"
"Yes."
"Well Tyrant was The Ghost King before Pariah Dark."
"But Skulker said that Pariah was king before most ghosts were even spawned."
"That is partially true, Pariah was king before most of The Ghost Zone's population came into existence, however before that, Tyrant was king, he and his clan were killed during the extinction of their race. They came back as ghosts, Tyrant, being the most powerful named himself king and ruler, and stated that he will give up his crown to any who could defeat him. One day Pariah Dark came into existence as a Ghost with the Ring of Rage and Crown of Fire he was able to defeat Tyrant, and he claimed the throne. Tyrant angered and humiliated left for exile in The Ghost Zone's prehistoric realm until he could defeat Pariah Dark and reclaim his thrown. However before he could, the ancients and ghost population over threw Pariah Dark. Then when Vlad Plasmius reawakened Pariah, Tyrant felt his presence again, but before he could return to defeat Pariah, you defeated him."
"So he's after me because I defeated his rival?"
"No great one, he is after you because you defeated his rival, and claimed his throne."
Danny felt his jaw drop and his eyes widen; he was the ghost king, the new ghost king. Danny felt like he was going to fall to the ground, like his legs suddenly turned to jelly and the blood drained from his body. How the heck did he become The Ghost King, he didn't want to be king of the Ghosts. Why didn't anybody tell him that this would happen, surely they knew.
"WHAT!"
"Great One, by defeating Pariah Dark, you have become the new Ghost King."
"When, who, what, why didn't you tell me, I don't want to be king!"
"Unfortunately you have no say in the matter; you claimed the throne when you defeated Pariah, he who defeats or vanquishes the King shall take his place."
"Well take it back, Frostbite you be King."
"I'm sorry Great One, but you are King."
"Why didn't anybody tell me this when I was fighting Pariah?"
"Most Ghosts don't know about it, many ghosts in existence today think Tyrant is a myth, and came into existence after Pariah Dark was overthrown, the only ones who know of the rule are the leaders you will be meeting with today."
"So now Tyrant is going to fight me in an attempt to reclaim his thrown, is that it."
"He can't here, there are laws that forbid fighting in this place, well at least no fighting in the temple, which is why he probably attacked you out here, once you stepped inside he can't harm you. But he will try and retake the thrown if he sees you unworthy to follow."
"Great One, I know this might be sudden and you will need time, but in reality you are King of the Ghosts, you have been since you defeated Pariah Dark, and you will be until someone kills you. But if I may say one thing, with you the leader of Ghosts, would it not be easier for you?"
"How would it be easier?"
"As King the ghosts will listen to you, they will not attack the Earth, you are protected from Walker's laws, much to his disdain and will this not make your goals of accomplishing peace with the humans easier, or in other words, wouldn't you rather be the king and rule the ghosts rather than someone like Tyrant, Pariah or a some fruit loop like Plasmius?"
"I guess when you put it like that then…I don't know this is sudden, I can't think about it now."
"We understand, but when we go in there for the meeting, all the ghosts will see you as the new king, but others will be hesitant, they need to see you prove yourself first."
"I have too much on my plate already, thanks for telling me, is there anything else I should know before we go in there?" Danny asked, hoping the answer was no.
"Yes there is one more thing."
"What is it?"
"The Fright Knight, part of his obsession is to serve The Ghost King, which is now you."
"So what you're saying is The Fright Knight will do whatever I tell him to?"
"Indeed, your word will be his command."
"I thought he had some deal with Plasmius or something?"
"He did, his deal was The Fright Knight would be his second in command when he took over Earth if he helped you defeat Pariah Dark, his one and true master is always the King, the only thing that made him rebel was that of his treatment, that is why he betrayed Pariah Dark, after you defeated Pariah he made sure that Plasmius would not learn that you were king, and he has not attacked you since."
"So basically as longs as I treat him fair like a friend he will do everything I say."
"Indeed, now I think we've kept the others waiting."
"Yeah, let's get this over with, oh and can we keep this thing about be being king a secret, I want to tell my friends, but no one else."
"Of course Great One, only the leaders of The Ghost Zone and your friends shall know until it's time to reveal it to the rest of The Zone."
"Thanks it's just the price on my head on Earth is already big, if they heard I was also King, it would be a thousand times bigger."
Danny walked with Frostbite and Clockwork into the temple. They entered it's one and only room, it was huge, in the middle was a round table, and sitting at seats around it were different ghosts. Danny looked around to see who all was here; so far he knew Frostbite and Clockwork. Danny looked and a smiled came to his face when he saw Princess Dora and Pandora were also there, glad to see more of his allies. Also sitting at the table that he recognized was The Fright Knight, Walker and The Ghost Writer and Tyrant, who he had just met. Danny also looked to see some other ghosts he didn't recognize. One of the ghosts sitting at the table looked like a cursed pirate. The pirate was a rotting skeleton, but it still had long sharp fingernails, sharp teeth and a hairy beard. Its eye sockets were empty except for the eerie glowing red dots which acted as eyes. Its cloths were black and covered with holes, battle damage and blood. There was also a ghost that resembled an old western cow boy. They all noticed Danny, Clockwork and Frostbite enter, the meeting could now begin.
"Hello Sir Phantom, it's good to see you again." Dora said.
"Thank you, and same to you."
"Okay let's get this meeting in order, introduce yourself and your position, you already all know me, Clockwork, The Ghost and Master of Time."
"Princess Dorathea, ruler of the Kingdom of Aragon and have replaced by brother's position."
"Pandora; ruler of The Acropolis Realm and keeper of Pandora's Box."
"The Fright Knight, The Spirit of Halloween and loyal servant to The Ghost King."
"Walker, Warden of the Ghost Zone Prison and Chief Lawmaker and Keeper."
"The Ghost Writer, owner of The Ghost Zone archives and scribe of Ghostly events, and out on parole for good behaviour."
"Buffalo Bill, Sheriff of the Western Realm." The cowboy said.
"Davy Jones; Captain of The Flying Dutchman; Keeper of The Kraken and ruler of The Ghost Zone and Earth's oceans and seas." The Skeleton Pirate said.
"Tyrant, Leader of The Predators.
"Frostbite; Leader of the People of The Far Frozen and Keeper of the Infi-Map."
"Danny Phantom; Halfa and Protector of Amity Park and Earth." Danny said, before getting a little nudge from Frostbite. Danny looked at his friend, knowing what it was. "Do I have to?" Danny asked, Frostbite nodded, Danny sighed. "And as I just found out a few minutes ago, King of the Ghost Zone."
There only reaction from the ghosts present was from Tyrant who slammed his fist on the table; nobody called him out on it though. It seemed that even though there could be no fighting in this place, nobody risked upsetting the giant tyrant lizard.
"Well Punk, Clockwork called us together because you have something to tell us, what is it?" Walker said.
"Aye spit it out lad; some of us have things to do." Davy Jones said.
"I wanted to call a meeting because there is a problem that will affect us, and there is a solution."
"What kind of problem?" Pandora asked.
"With the humans; more specifically the Guys in White; they've done something, unspeakable horrible, and I fear that when I tell you what they've done you'll go to war with Earth, without hearing all the facts or thinking, as of this moment, only Clockwork and I know about their actions."
"What have they done now?"
"Many years ago, during their early days, The Guy's in White came up with an operation, they presented it to The President, however he rejected it, told them to shut it down, but they did it without his knowledge, they called it Operation Sterilization; they released a biological agent into The Ghost Zone, designed to target the male ghosts reproductive organs and prevent ghosts from being able to reproduce in hope of quelling our numbers." Danny said blatantly.
The reactions from the ghosts present were just what Danny thought they would be. They were all shocked, disgusted and enraged. They all started to shout out things all at once, the scene turned into a loud commotion. Clockwork raised his staff and sent a wave or light through the room, silencing everybody.
"Enough, one at a time." Clockwork said.
"Great One, what you have said, it's abominable, a horror of nightmares, is it true?" Frostbite asked.
"Yes Frostbite, I'm afraid it is, I saw the file in their base myself, and The President has confirmed it with me."
"They dare, they think they have the right to decide whether we can have children or not?"
"I say we show them what happens when they mess with ghosts, let's go to war." Tyrant roared.
"Hold it, this was the Guy in White's doing, just the GIW, not humans, is it fair that we eliminate a race based on the actions of a few?" Danny said.
"So we let them get away with this?"
"No, the GIW will pay, but that doesn't mean we need to punish mankind as well."
"All humans are the same; the only good human is a dead human."
"There is another reason why I called you here, not only to tell you of these actions, but because The President of the United States as extended his hand for peace."
"Never trust a human."
"This human happens to be the leader of one of the world's most powerful countries and he has promised to give us a cure for the blight the GIW released, but first both sides have to show that we can co-exist peacefully, or at the very least have peace."
"Peace is for the weak, I will not trust those puny humans."
"That's because you just simply don't understand humans, they are more powerful than you realize Tyrant." Frostbite said.
"You're just agreeing with the Halfa because you worship him Frostbite."
"No, it's what I firmly believe, there is much we don't know about them."
"How can something that I can squash with my foot be more powerful than me, the humans must pay."
"Not all human, just the GIW, the reason I called this meeting was to tell you of what the GIW did and what The President of The United States wants, which is peace."
"You would side with the weak humans and not with Ghosts?"
"I have no side, I do what's right and it's not right to kill an entire species just because a few of them decided to attack us."
"Then you are weak, I do not understand how you were able to best Pariah, you are unfit to lead us."
"That is not your call to make Tyrant, Phantom defeated The Ghost King, and until he is slain he will remain King, and we are to do as he commands." The Fright Knight said as he rose from his seat.
"Then I Tyrant will refuse to follow, my Predators and I will remain in our realm, do not come after us again unless we are going to war against those vermin, or our king is looking to give up his crown."
With that the massive ghost rose from his spot and charged out the door, transforming into his T-Rex form on the way out. As he left the temple he rose on his hind legs and let out a roar of anger, before charging off into the jungle, the farther he got from the temple, the less the ground shook. Danny and the other leaders got back to business.
"Okay then let's try and wrap this up, I called the meeting to tell you about this, and that The President has promised to fix it and is looking for peace. So I ask that you consider this information and in a couple days' time, we meet up again to discuss what we are going to do."
"You do realize that means that we will have to tell the citizens of our realms, and they would have a say in the decision as well." Dora said.
"I know, they have the right to know, as did you, all I'm asking is you not attack and hold off until we can all decide on what to do next, obviously Tyrant isn't in favor, so what about you all?" Danny said looking at them all.
"I am with you Great One."
"As am I your highness." Dora said.
"I am not pleased with the GIW actions, but if you believe that peace can be made, I am with you, although I will need much patience if I am to get Ares to stand down." Pandora said.
"You are the King of The Ghost Zone, I am your loyal servant, and your word is my command." The Fright Knight said.
"As The Master of Time, I have no say in the matter; I know what will or might happen." Clockwork said.
"As sheriff of my realm, my job is to ensure the safety of its citizens, if that includes preventing war, then I'm all for it."
"I hold my say until this second meeting; allow me to think on the matter." Davy Jones said.
"Seconded, I like to think things out." The Ghost Writer said.
"Very Well, this meeting is adjourned." Clockwork said.
With that all the Ghost Zone leaders rose from their seats and started to leave. Danny watched them go, a smile on his face. So far everything was going as he had hoped. Those who were his allies had agreed or said they will support him on the matter, there was just few that didn't or were unknown. Danny was just glad that this was going so well so far. Danny then headed towards Frostbite.
"Hey Frostbite, mind if I use the Infi-Map for a second."
"Of course Great One."
The President of The United States was in his office; on the phone with the Vice President. The vice President was giving him an earful about how dangerous it is to have business with ghosts, and to not have anti-ectoplasmic weaponry or defenses. The President assured him he knew what he was doing; in fact he was just trying stalling for time. The President knew that Phantom would have met with The Ghost Zone leaders by now and was expecting him to show up any second. As soon as he felt the temperature in the room drop The President decided to end his call.
"Listen James, something's come up, I'll call you again later." The President said as he hung up the phone. He looked to see Phantom standing in front of him, having somehow managed to sneak past security and secret service. The President smiled, in awe and amazement.
"I told Peirce you could probably just walk in here without anybody knowing."
"I know, I never thought it would be this easy to enter The White House, I advise you get anti-Ecto defenses, not all Ghosts who come to Earth are as friendly as me."
"I'll look into it, I hear The Fenton's are the best at that, anyways, it's a pleasure to see you again Phantom." The President said as he shook Phantom's hand.
"Likewise Mr. President, so shall we begin?"
"Indeed, please have a seat." The President said motioning to a chair.
"Thank you."
Danny sat in the chair, The President sat in a chair across from him. To say that he was nervous was an understatement; he had met with The President before, and they've had small talks, but this was going to be different. They both wanted to show the world that ghosts and humans can co-exist peacefully, and Danny had some news which would affect this. The President reached over and grabbed and poured himself a glass of water, he then looked at him.
"Care for a drink, or do you drink?"
"Ah no thanks, as a Ghost I can drink, but I don't really need to, since I'm already dead I can't get dehydrated." Danny said. That was a lie, as a Halfa he could last twice as long without it, but he would still need it.
"Okay, so from our last conversation you said that you would be meeting with the leaders of The Ghost Zone?"
"Yes that's right; I just got back from there actually."
"Well, care to tell me what happened?"
"Of course, but first, you've said you will also talk the other leaders of the Earth, have you done that as well?"
"Only a few, the Prime Minister of Canada and England, they are both very good friends of mine and I trust them, with this you have to be careful, I plan to announce my intentions to the world tomorrow on a national broadcast, and then contact the other leaders after that, with this I felt I'd tell the people I trust most first, surly you can understand that."
"I do Mr. President, more than you know, well that's good we've both made progress, also, how much do you know about Ghost Zone politics?"
"Only what we had files on, which is not a lot, all we had was something about a Ghost King and an incident in Amity Park with that, basically that and the fact you have a king."
"Yes well, The Ghost Zone is kind of like Earth, there are different zones ore regions in it and each is ruled by a powerful ghost, then there are some other ghosts who are just powerful enough that they are respected as a leader, I just got back from talking with them."
"And?" The President asked with interest.
"As of right now, we are split, half of the leaders are in favor of making peace, and half are in favor of wiping you all out." Danny said blatantly; Danny watched The President's reaction, it was both calm and thoughtful, he was analyzing what he heard, like a good leader should.
"I had to tell them about Operation: Sterilization, it was the only way for all of them to understand the situation, however I also told them that you promised you'd find a cure for it, however some were just to disgusted and enraged that such an action even took place they wouldn't hear me out, others did, and have said that if Earth can prove they want to co-exist and can deliver a cure, they will try and work together."
"I see, can you tell me anything about the leaders?"
"Yes I can, the ones who sides with me are Frostbite, the leader of the Far Frozen realm, a powerful ghost and very good friend of mine, Princess Dora, ruler of the Kingdom Aragon; Pandora leader of the Acropolis Realm; The Fright Knight; the spirit of Halloween and servant to The Ghost King and Buffalo Bill the sheriff of the Western realms."
"What about those not in favor, can we still change their minds?"
"I believe we can, however it will need time and some might be harder to convince than others."
"What of The Ghost King, surely he was there wasn't he?"
"Yes, he was there, and he is in favor of it, which is basically all we need, the others will most likely vote in favor once the Necropathic has been cured and we've shown we can co-exist."
"Well that's wonderful news, in that case I will continue with my plans to announce this to the nation tomorrow."
"Very good Mr. President, for now I've done all that I can, I can continue to try and convince those not in favor but no promises, for now I have to get back to my job, oh wait there was one more thing."
"Which is?"
"Well I've been having this problem for a while, and I believe that if it's fixed it can befit what we're trying to do."
"What is it?"
"Would it be possible for you to allow my daughter to attend a school in Amity Park, me and my mate having been trying to find education for her for a while, it would take some time, but I think it could show that ghosts and humans can work together?"
"It's a interesting request, and one that I would allow, but would you allow me to think about it, there would be things that would need to be done."
"I understand, it would be a big step, but if it means giving my daughter an education, thank you for considering."
"Of course, as long as you and your make think it is best for your child, I don't see why it can't be done, I'll let you know tomorrow and once again thank you for given this a chance."
"No need to thank me, it's what I want as well."
"So long Phantom."
"Good luck Mr. President."
With that Danny shook The President's hand and flew out of the White House; invisible of course. When Danny was a fair distance away he reached for his belt and pulled out the Infi-Map, calling up a portal back to The Far Frozen. He would have to give the map back to Frostbite and then head back to his home, he had a lot to tell Team Phantom, he was wondering how they would all react to the fact that he was now King of the Ghost Zone. He just hoed the public wouldn't find out about this. Danny opened the portal and went through it, emerging in the Far Frozen, where Frostbite was waiting for him.
Danny exited The Ghost Portal his parents had in their lab and quickly exited that too. Danny up the stairs to the main floor, he saw Jazz working on her studies or something, she had her nose in some book, and Dani playing a video game in the family room; wait what. Danny walked over to his daughter; she looked up for a moment before pressing the pause button, a guilty smile on her face.
"Uh…hey dad, what's up?" she said.
"Danielle, I thought your Mother and I decided to ground you from Video Games?"
"No, you said no computer games; this is a PlayStation 3, totally not a computer."
"Oh, found a loophole did you?" Danny said crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow.
"Kinda, after Grandma and Grandpa left for a Ghost Patrol I came down and found this, Jazz told me it plays games, I then asked if it was a computer she said no, so I'm playing games, but they aren't computer games."
"Fine, I'll let you have this one, but don't get used to it, me and Sam will just make sure we're more specific next time, what you playing anyways?"
"PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale, some fighting game, no, no, no ugh Dang you Radec!"
Danny looked at the screen; Dani was playing as Sly Cooper who was facing off against Colonel Radec, who just activated his level 3 Super move. A cinematic played of Radec getting into a jet pack, the screen the showed Radec from a first-person perspective and using a crosshairs started to gun down Dani's character; just before the timer ran out, Victory: Colonel Radec. Dani groaned in defeat and annoyance, the Danny noticed something, Dani was playing on the hardest difficulty setting.
"Dani, you do know you're playing Arcade mode on the hardest setting don't you?"
"Of course…not really…no." Dani admitted, before going to the options to change it.
Danny gave a small chuckle before walking off; he pulled out his cell phone and dialed Sam's cell phone number. He didn't know how she was going to react to the little information of him being The King; or that their daughter is sneakier and smarter than they thought; he waited for Sam to answer.
"Hey Danny." Sam said, almost with some irritation in her voice.
"Sam, are you okay?"
"It's my parents, they are really angry right now, not only are they refusing to give money to have the city because they lost that bet, but they are furious at me for ignoring them and dating you."
"That bad, I'm sorry Sam."
"Yeah well what can you do, re scramble their minds, I don't care, so anyways what's new, what happened with the Ghost Zone leaders?"
"Okay yeah there was some stuff I got some of The Ghost Zone leaders to side with me, I've got an sixty five million year old angry dinosaur ghost after me because I'm The new Ghost King, and I told the President about this and asked if he could help us with finding education for Dani."
"Wait what did you say?" Jazz, Dani and Sam all said in unison.
"I got some of the Ghost Zone leaders to side with me and I told The President about that and asked if he could help us with finding education for Dani."
"No the one in the middle." The three girls said.
"I've got a sixty five million year old, angry dinosaur ghost after me because I'm The new Ghost King."
"WHAT!"
"Here we go, long story…."
Danny turned in his bed covers, groggy and not wanting to get out of bed. It was one of those days he just did not want to get out of bed, but he had to, it was Monday, which meant school. He climbed out of bed, ready to face the day. The President was going to announce his intentions, there was going to be a special assembly at school, he did not know what ghosts would show up today. He doesn't know when The Box Ghost will show up to bug him and he will probably have his sister, Tucker and Sam on his case about being the new Ghost King. Danny walked into the bathroom and was about to get into the shower when a loud knock came at the door. Danny wrapped a towel around himself, there was no time to get his cloths back on and he didn't want anybody to see his scars. Danny opened the door a little to see who it was, it was his Dad.
"Danny, come quick, The President is addressing the nation, and it's about ghosts!"
Seeing that Danny has a towel covering him, Jack grabbed Danny and literally pulled him downstairs. When Jack Fenton got excited with ghosts he forgot his common sense at times. Danny could see his mother and Jazz already watching the television on the couch, his dad grabbed his seat while Danny just stayed back, holding the towel covering himself; and watching The President make his address.
"My fellow Americans, today I come to you with a historical event, what I have to say will forever change our lives and the way we view the world. In recent years, we have come to the awareness that we know so little about our planet and its mystery's. One of those mysteries are ghosts, over the past several years, we have come to be aware that these spiritual entities exist and are part of the reality we live in, not fairy tales, not camp fire ghost stories, not a fictional story, but a reality. Many of you have seen the events of two weeks ago in Amity Park. With its local Ghost Danny Phantom and the events, these events have started a change which will affect not only our nation, but the lives of every man, woman and child in the world. I am disgusted by the actions of our formal supernatural branch The Guy's in White and their attack on the ghost Zone in the form of a biological agent, one that prevents ghosts from being able to reproduce. The GIW is no more, and I vow to undo their actions, by giving the ghosts a cure to the Necropathic, because no one, weather human or not should be denied the ability to create a life or a family. But this has also got me thinking, how are Ghosts any different from us, is it because they are dead, is it because they have powers. Where does it say that a human being loses its rights and freedoms as so as they are dead? Why should ghosts be treated as anything less than a human being? So starting today I am announcing my intention of making peace with The Ghost Zone and its inhabitants, allowing ghosts to hold the same rights they did when they were alive, to cure the blight that we gave to them and to prove to everyone that both humans and ghosts can co-exist peacefully; and I ask that the leaders of their states also listen to this and think, and join me as we make history. Thank you and God Bless America."
As the President left the air the whole world erupted into chaos. Everybody was talking about what The President had just said, about humans and ghosts. Some were in agreement, others against it; others didn't know what to think. Danny just sat on the couch with his family watching the address; he turned to see his parent's reaction. They were in shock, as if they didn't know what to think. Danny just hoped this whole thing would work and not backfire somehow. The last thing he wanted was a war between humans and ghosts; because if that ever were to happen humanity would never stand a chance. With that he walked back up the stairs towards the bathroom to have a shower.
Meanwhile in another place in the world, a television playing the President's addresses just imploded and shattered to pieces. Agents O and K jumped at the sudden shot and explosion and looked to see their leader, The Boss, holding a smoking gun to the television. They both knew why he did it, but it was still sudden, unlike this address which they all feared might happen, but didn't actually expect it to.
"Of all the crap I have heard in my life, this, oh this takes the cake." The Boss growled.
"It's disgusting." Agent O said.
"Damn right it is, it's sickening, The President, our supposed commander and chief thinks we can co-exist with those monsters, next he'll be saying that we can share homes with them, marry them, reproduce with them, co –existing with a ghost, do you know what that is O?"
"It's a revolting and unspeakable act, a crime against humanity."
"Exactly, some may condemn Hitler for his actions of killing the Jews, that was a horrible act and I don't support it, but I can at least respect what he was trying to do, weed out the weak to strengthen the human race as a whole, he just went about it the wrong way, however this man, our "President" wants to weaken the race by working with them, that will work, it's just what the ghosts want, and then they will strike when they have us right where they want us."
"What do we do sir?" K asked.
"Continue with the Operation, we can't do anything until Project: Reaper is done, get back to work, our mole should be contacting us soon."
With that Agent's O and K saluted their leader and left his office. The Boss remained in his chair, thinking about the horrible act the President was trying to accomplish. He looked over at the smoking television; It was still sparking and emitting smoke. All The Boss could do now was wait for their mole to contact them, and for the completion of Project: Reaper, then all the ghosts will pay, with their afterlives.
Well I hope you enjoyed that, like I said in some parts it feels rushed, I'll wait and see how it's received before I change, the major area I have issue with is the meeting but, oh well I'll see, so anyways Tyrant, first of all how is there not a single Danny Phantom story with Ghost Dino's if the Ghost Zone can't exist without the Earth, and vice versa then there should be Ghost Dino's, Tyrant will have a larger part later on, but here's an idea, and maybe more people will write about this idea now. Also Danny is The Ghost King that will come into play later on as well, okay I just realized this chapter is mostly filler for later chapters, oh well you'll get some action later, and by later I mean within the next five chapter. Oh yeah and about Davy Jones, no he's not POTC Davy Jones, he's a skeleton, I like the concept of Davy being the Captain of The Flying Dutchman because they are both famous in Pirates lore and are both mysterious and can be ghostly, so I kept that, and he keeps The Kraken, he prevents it from causing trouble he doesn't command it to attack ships, however if there is a big problem with him I'll change him so he doesn't sound too much like POTC Davy alright, So anyways is there anything I can answer?
MagnusVolcanus: When and where was it stated that Walker was Maddie's maiden name? I think I would remember that, or thought I would, and there is a story called Grandpappy Walker in which Walker is related to Maddie, check it out. Um, Danny copying powers, you'll have to wait and see, sorry they don't meet The President just yet, soon though
Inviso-Al: In order, sneak peek, this answer your question, she hasn't found out yet, Not answering the last one, wait and see
goth chick: In my continuity Dani was created by Vlad in hopes of Cloning Danny, by using Danny's ghost DNA, he attempted to stabilize it using DNA from Sam, and Danielle was the result, the DNA he used was before the events of Urban Jungle which means Sam was 100% completely human, that's why Dani doesn't have powers, Sam's DNA that made her was before it was corrupted by Undergrowth
Ghostboy225: Please be patient, I have a plan, wait and see Vortex might be part of my plans he may not, well okay he probably is at some point
Well there are the answers, so anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and hopefully I can have another one for you soon, I'm almost done 7 so maybe I'll update in 5 days, I'll wait and see, so anyways as always please favorite and follow if you love this story and please everybody review, you don't have to be signed in you can guest it so please favorite follow and review, let me know what you think, until next time.
