Chapter 7

"Dani maybe we should stop," David said.

"No," Dani said.

"Dani," David started, "Dani!" David yelled when Dani started falling and turned human.

David flew down and caught Dani just before she hit the path. David held Dani bridal style and floated about five feet in the air. Dani slowly opened her eyes, "What?" Dani said in confusion then looked at David, "David?"

"Still think we don't need to stop?" David asked.

"Fine," Dani said in defeat.

David slowly floated down and set Dani down and helped her lay down, "Get some sleep," David said, "We'll continue to Clockwork's after a good night's sleep. I promise."

Dani nodded and let her eyes close. David sighed with relief and went a few feet away and fell asleep himself. David woke up the next 'morning' and found Dani waiting a few feet away, "Ready to go?" Dani asked and transformed into her ghost form.

"Yeah," David said and sat up, "Let's go," and with that said the two of them flew off towards Clockwork's Tower.

Hours later Dani and David arrived at Clockwork's Tower, "Whoa," David said when they entered the wrecked tower.

"Yeah," Dani said, "Vlad and Pariah did this."

"You seem to be forgetting someone," a voice said.

Dani and David turned and saw Dan walking out of a shadow with Dani's family and Clockwork in the bubble, "Dani!" everyone in the bubble yelled.

Dani growls which only makes Dan laugh, "Let's get started shall we?" Dan said and let the bubble float up.

David gave Dani a worried look, "Hold this," Dani said handing David her bag.

David nodded and took the bag and floated up with Dani's family and Clockwork. When David reaches the bubble Maddie asks, "Is Dani okay? She doesn't seem like herself."

"I'm not sure," David said, "I think she's just stressed and worried about failing and you guys being stuck in here forever."

Sam starts to cry again and Danny holds her a tries to calm her down, "You ready little girl?" Dan asked.

"Let's go," Dani said.

Dani smiles and duplicates himself into two Dans. Everyone in the bubble and David gasp when he does this, "Oh no," Danny said.

"What?" David asks, "You know what he's going to do?"

"Most likely," Danny said, "I had to fight him once."

"Really?" David said surprised, "Because Dani said he was an evil version of the King."

Danny was about to say something, but Jazz, Sam, Jack, Tucker, and Maddie hit him in the head, "OW!" Danny yelled, "What was that for!"

Jazz moved her figures across her mouth like she was zipping it shut, "Okay?" Danny said a little confused.

The family and friends turned back to Dani just as Dan 1 fires ecto blasts at her and Dan 2 fires ecto goo. Dani barely dodges each of them but is caught in one of Dan's ecto ropes. Dani tries to get free, but fails, "Dani!" everyone yells.

David tries to fly down to help Dani not caring what Vlad said, but is stopped by an ecto wall, "Ah, ah, ah," Dan 1 said, "No help," Dan 2.

"Dani!" David yells and fires both his fire and ice powers at the wall, but the wall didn't break.

Dani continues to struggle, but stops when Dan merges back into one Dan. Dan slowly walks up to Dani and lifts her by her ropes. Dani gives a small yelp when Dan pulls her close to his face, "Dani!" everyone yells.

"How in the world can you be my daughter?" Dan asks.

"Say what!" David yells in shock.

"Oh, boy," everyone in the bubble says.

David turns to them, "You're the King of the Ghost Zone?" David asks Danny.

Danny nods, "Yes," Danny said, "And Dani has told you what she is right?"

David nodded, "Yeah, but, wow, okay," David said trying to rap his head around this.

Dani is now enraged at Dan for blowing her secret to David. Dan laughs and throws Dani in the wall, "No!" everyone yells.

Dani hisses in pain and looks at Dan who's laughing, 'How in the world did dad beat this guy?' Dani wondered.

Dani closed her eyes and tried to recall how her dad said he defeated Dan, 'The wail!' Dani realized, 'But wait, I don't have that power, now what?'

Dan comes up and grabs Dani by the neck, "Dani!" David yells.

Dan turns to David and drops Dani and floats up to David. David floats back a step in fear, "Well, well, well," Dan said, "Who do we have here?"

David gulped, "Leave him alone!" Dani yells.

Dan turns back to Dani, "And who's going to make me?" Dan asks Dani.

Dani could feel her anger beginning to boil and finally yells, "I said leave him ALONE!" Dani yells releasing her first Ghostly Wail.

Dan is blown back and into a bookcase and David has to cover his ears along with everyone inside the bubble. Dani's ropes disappear just as her wail ends. Dani falls to the floor and turns human, "Dani!" everyone yells and removes their hands.

"David!" Dani yells, "Look in my bag and give me the thermos looking thing," Dani yells weakly.

David opens Dani's bag and finds it with a belt over it. David goes to remove the belt, but is shocked, "Ow!" David yelps and removes his hand.

David just grabs the thermos, "Dani!" David yells as a heads up.

Dani grabs the thermos and almost falls over from exhaustion. Suddenly Dan appears from under the bookcase and Dani sucks him in before he could even register what happened. Once Dan was sucked in, Dani passed out from exhaustion.

A/N Two down one to go. And how will David take Dani being the Princess of the Ghost Zone? Keep reading to find out what happens with David, and how it goes with Vlad. I don't own Danny Phantom."
