Enemies, Allies, and Introductions

Before the pilot was able to steer away they were sucked in.

There was a crash, a scream, and then silence.

Danny groaned as he sat up. He looked around and noticed that the plane had crashed, to his great luck (notice the sarcasm), in the Ghost Zone. Quickly realizing the unfortunate situation they were in, he scanned the area looking for the other passengers. Luckily they were alright and the only real damage was a dent on the side of the plane. They had all woken up already and were trying to find a way to get the door open.

"Sam," he called out to her, "how long have we been here?"

"Danny," she gasped, running up to him "I'm so glad you're okay. When you didn't wake up I thought you might've hit your head or something. It's been about three hours"

"I'm fine Sam." He told her, "How long do you think it will take my mom to get the door open. We need to get out of here."

"Another 2 hours at least. It's made of a metal that's as strong as diamond, Danny, it's not easy to buts open."

She suddenly got a thoughtful look on her face. The same look she usually got when she had a good idea.

"Do you think you could use the strength from your ghost half to get the door open? If we get out we might be able to find someone to help us out of here."

"I might be able to but you have to keep my mom busy."

"No problem." She turned to Maddie and yelled "Mrs. Fenton, I think I sprained my ankle when we crashed, can you take a look at it?"

"Of course Sam."

While his mother was distracted with Sam, Danny went to take a look at the door. The hinges were crushed and the lock was broken. No wonder they couldn't get it open! With a little help from his ghostly strength, he was able to pry the door off its hinges, and move it out of the way.

"Hey guys!" he called, "the doors open." With that he ran out, followed by the others…

…only to come face to face with Skulker.

"Hello whelp." He said, " The prey coming straight to the hunter. You have just made my job easier for me, prepare to become a new floor rug."

With that he attacked.

Danny, knowing he couldn't go ghost in front of everyone , drew his sword. Thanks to his training with Dora in her kingdom he knew how to properly use a sword. He got into a battle ready stance and waited for the first sigh of attack.

"Do you honestly think you can beat me with a mere human weapon, whelp? You must be losing your…"he trailed off as he finally noticed the crest on Danny's swords sheath.

"The crest of Gallia." He breathed, "Its only worn by the royal family." Recognition flashed in his eyes, and his expression changed from murderous to hopeful just before he flew off.

"That was weird." Tucker said, scratching his head before turning to Danny. "So, are we getting out of here or what?" he asked.

"Yeah come on. The Far Frozen is about an hour from here." Danny said, and with that he turned and headed off, the others following him.

1 Hour Later

After walking through trees, forests, and several snow storms, the group finally arrived at the entrance to the far frozen. Unfortunately for them, there was no one there. Luckily Danny knew where the infi-map was help and led them to it.

"Alright, I want everyone to grab a hold of the map. Hold on tight 'cause it's like a roller-coaster." When everyone grabbed on he shouted "Gallia's Royal Palace" and they were off.


The royal advisor was pacing the ball room. The entire kingdom was outside the palace awaiting the royal families arrival and they were nowhere to be found! She was just about to go out and announce that everyone go home and return tomorrow when a green portal opened in front of her and out stepped the royal family.

"Ho mia ho! Dankon boneco vi bonfartas! Atentu nun, ni devas rapidi, via popolo atendas vin juna princo."(1) She pointed to his family and friends.

"Vi kvin, venu kun mi. La juna princo atendos ĝis mi anonci sian alvenon riveli sin."(2) With that she turned around and walked towards the stairs, heading for a balcony that would allow the whole Kingdom to see them.

The others, although very confused, followed with Danny lagging behind. He heard the advisor begin speaking and peaked through the curtain blocking him from everyone else. There were millions of people there, listening intently to the speech. After a few more minutes, he tuned in on what was being said.

"…kaj hodiaŭ estas tago por ĝoji kaj festi dum…"(3)

The advisor turned and gestured for him to step forward. When he was by her side, he was greeted by gasps of amazement and cheers from the crowd. After a moment the advisor cleared her throat and continued her sentence.

"... por nia princo venis hejmen."(4)

coopt98: no but they will find out. The plot depends on it.

Clear As Myst: they got the wardrobe from Maddie. She always kept contact with the kingdom but didn't feel the need to reveal it unless it was necessary.
