Chapter IX: Operation: Fenton Works

Dani lay in her bed, wide awake, carefully planning. Her parents still said no to letting her see The Ghost Zone because it was dangerous. Her defense was always the same thing; her dad goes in it all the time, sometimes her mother, but never her. After she left Vlad she explored the world, seeing many places and sites. Then she returned when she started to de-stabilize, when her father fixed her she left again and explored. Then she came back to be with her father and also gained a family. Now she wants to see The Ghost Zone, well why not she's a ghost, or at least half-ghost she has the right. But no apparently it was too dangerous for the daughter of Danny Phantom to be in The Ghost Zone.

So Dani planned, after they got back from fighting the ghost animals earlier in the day, she left while her parents started to talk about something. She started to plan for a way to get into The Ghost Zone and see it. Then she remembered that her grandparents just so happened to have a portal to The Ghost Zone in their lab. Dani was lying in her bed waiting for a safe time to leave for it. When was a safe time; that would be when she knows her father was asleep. It was no in the middle of the night, a different day then when she made the plan, she figured now as a good time. She threw off her covers and went to the lair door.

Dani slowly opened the lair door, carefully and quietly. Once it was opened she stepped outside and looked to see herself in her father's room. He was lying in his bed on his belly, his head buried in a pillow and his arms lying at his sides. Dani didn't want to wake him up, not only would he stop her from carrying out her plan but he would be angry at her for it as well. Dani closed the door to the lair and slowly started to make her way towards the door, carefully taking steps as to not make any noise for her father to hear. After all, her father had heightened hearing, and with his life the slightest sound would probably make him paranoid, plus when are you more vulnerable than when you are asleep. Dani then took a step, however her weight caused a floor board to creak. Dani froze up and quickly looked at her father, he was stirring, and he wasn't entirely asleep.

Dani looked around and with no other options; turned invisible and hoped for the best. She looked at her father and saw him turn his head so that his eye could be seen. Seconds later is slowly and tiredly opened. His icy blue ices then turned to his neon green as he scanned the room, never once moving anything other than his eye. After that he gave a brief look towards the closet, he saw that the lair door was closed. He then lifted his head and blew, as if trying to self-activate his ghost sense, nothing happened. With that Danny rested his head back down and closed his tired eye, going back to sleep. Dani would have given a sigh of relief, but was worried that her father would have heard that as well. She continued to make her way to the door, and instead of opening just phased through it.

Dani found herself outside her father's room; she started to slowly and quietly make her way downstairs towards The Fenton's Lab. She didn't want to use any of her ghost powers right now in fear that The Fenton's Ghost defences will activate. She soon found herself in The Fenton's lab, her mouth dropped when she looked at it, she had never been down here before because her Grandparents were always down here inventing things. It almost reminded her of Vlad's lab, the place she used to call home until she discovered her real father. She walked over to a one side and gazed at the many inventions that hung on its walls, each with a little plaque that barred the gadgets name. Dani gave a little chuckle, her father wasn't kidding when he said her grandpa put Fenton on everything. There was of course The Fenton Thermos that her dad always carried with him. There was The Fenton Xtractor, Fenton Finder, Fenton Grappler, Fenton Ghost Fisher, Fenton Ghost Gloves, Fenton Ghost Catcher and even more.

Dani walked over to another section of the lab, where there were many projects that were incomplete. Her eyes then caught something; a familiar object lay on the table. Dani picked it up and looked at it; it was a needle with an almost radar dish like injector, with the words Ecto-Dejecto on the sides. Dani remembered this was the gadget that her father used to re-stabilize her when Vlad tried to melt her down. If it wasn't for her father and this she would be nothing but a puddle of Ectoplasmic goop. Dani smiled at the object, why was it incomplete, it worked it helped her she placed it back down on another counter far away from the incomplete section; then Dani spotted it.

Dani looked in front of her to see The Fenton's Ghost Portal, it looked almost like Vlad's but maybe that's because he sort of used their design for his own. She looked at the doors, which were decorated in the classic yellow and black warning marks. Bolts surrounded the metal frame, wilding it to the wall, on the other side of that door was a green swirling mass to The Ghost Zone. Dani gave a smile this was it; she would open it, go into explore for a while and then be out and back in the lair before her father wakes up. Dani walked up to the Portal and pushed the button to open it.

Seconds later the room was doused in a red light that came on and off and an alarm sounded. Dani covered her sensitive ears from the loud noise and started to panic. Suddenly some of the metal panels on the walls started to move, replacing them with sinister looking gadgets. A bright light burst out of the wall and shown on Dani, Dani felt like her eyeballs were burning up, the lights beam was hot and bright; she covered her eyes, temporarily blinded. She took a few steps back, and that's when everything happened. Dani couldn't see it because of the light but she felt things grab her limbs and throw her around. She could feel things grasping her, the sound of machinery moving, the alarm blaring in her ears. Then it all stopped except the alarm. Dani regained her sight and looked to find herself strapped to an examination table, straps around her waist, hands and feet. Above her was a monster of machinery, something had come down from the ceiling and hung above her, it had many little metal arms and on the end of each one was a medical and observation object. They were the perfect tools for dissections and studding ghosts. Then the alarm stopped and Dani looked to see her grandpa stumble through the door.

"Alright you spook, where are you, you thinking you can just come into our lab, you've made the biggest mistake of your afterlife, get over here."

Jack was swinging the Fenton Anti-Creep Stick, okay it was a metal baseball bat with the word Fenton on it around because his nightcap was covering his eyes. Maddie was behind him with her hand on a button, she was the once who stopped the alarm. She walked up to her husband and held him still long enough to fix his night cap; enabling him to see. They then both started to walk over to her; they stopped when they recognized the ghost that was. Dani then heard two more sets of feet approaching, seconds later Jazz and her father entered the room as well.

"You, Phantom's daughter, what are you doing here?" Maddie asked.

Dani looked around for a way out, a way to get out of these straps, out of the lab and away from her family. She looked at her father, she noticed his eyes. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment; he probably knew what she tried to do. There was no point in trying to avoid it, she might as well be truthful and admit.

"I was trying to get into The Ghost Zone, but when I pushed the button."

"You activated our anti-ghost defences, the button is keyed Fenton Human DNA, it detected you ectoplasmic signature and came after you."

"Sorry, all I wanted to do was see The Ghost Zone, that's all I swear."

"Danny, Jazz, why don't you two head up back to bed, you two need rest we'll help her out." Maddie said noticing her children behind them.

Jack and Maddie walked over and started to get Dani out of her restraints. Dani watched Jazz and her father leave; she knew that her father would be back as Phantom at any minute. As soon as she was out of the restraints she started leave, but Maddie stopped her.

"Just where do you think you're going?" she asked.

"Uh I'm leaving now; sorry to bother you won't happen again." Dani said trying to leave, hoping to avoid her father as long as possible.

"You don't really think you're off the hook right, you broke into our lab and attempted to use our Portal, this morning that talk you had with your father I thought he made it clear to you he didn't want you going into The Ghost Zone, what would he say if he was here right now?"

"Why don't you ask him yourself?"

"What?"

"If I know my Dad, he knows I'm missing from the lair by now, which means that he should be here in four, three."

Before Dani could say two Danny Phantom phased through the roof of the lab and landed on the ground. His sudden appearance managed to surprise Jack and Maddie. However it was hard to tell if they were surprised because of Phantom's sudden appearance, or that he was able to phase through the lab. He looked at his daughter, then at his parents, and then he started to walk forward. Dani could feel fear and worry build up in her, why couldn't she just listen to her parents. If she just stayed in bed this wouldn't be happening.

"Uh, hi Dad." Dani said, trying not to show terror.

"Danielle Phantom, would you care to explain to me what you are doing out of bed, in the middle of the night and in The Fenton's Lab?"

"I…uh…I was, uh." Dani tried to find the words, but she was too scared and worried about the trouble she was in.

"Let me guess you were trying to use The Fenton's Ghost Portal?" Phantom asked; Dani nodded.

"By doing so you activated their security measures and got caught, didn't you?" Dani again nodded.

"But lastly in order to do this you snuck out of the lair in the middle of the night."

"Yes." Dani whimpered.

"Is that all she did, she didn't break anything did she?" Danny asked turning to The Fentons.

"We heard the alarm and came down to find her restrained by our defenses."

"Listen, Mr. and Mrs. Fenton I'm so sorry this happened, I'm just going to take her and leave, sorry to wake you up." Danny said as he grabbed Dani by the arm and started to drag her away.

"Phantom wait!" Maddie said.

"What?"

"Two things, first of all, how the heck did you get past our defences?"

"Didn't you turn them off to get my daughter out of the restraints?"

"Only the indoor ones, the outer defences should still work."

"Must be a glitch, or maybe I forgot to separate the wires into two separate sections." Jack said.

"Jack I thought I told you to fix that, that means all our defences goes down with one switch."

"Sorry I'll do it tomorrow."

"Alright and secondly, don't be so hard on her, as a mother I have experience with children, I have two, I'm sure your daughter meant us no harm, she was just curious, if ghost children are anything like human children you have to remember that they are always developing, learning and being curious, tell me Phantom were you ever a kid?"

"Everyone is at some point yes."

"Then you must remember what it's like to be a kid, you have to see it from their perspective two, I'm not saying don't punish her, after all she did disobey you."

"Yeah, for example my son Danny is always getting in trouble, not doing well in school, always being late for curfew and stuff like that, but that's changed, it still happens but he's started to turn around, sure he got in trouble, but I had to keep in mind what it was like to be a teenager too, school, hormones and all that stuff."

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind, again sorry to disturb you."

With that Danny took to the air, with his daughter in hand. They both phased out of the wall and into the night sky. Maddie and Jack looked around; making sure nothing else was going on. They both started to make their way to their beds, shutting the lab down on the way. Meanwhile Danny was flying through the night sky of Amity Park, silent and determent looking. Dani was in his arms, unable to free herself from his grip. She noticed the direction he was heading, she didn't like it.

"Dad I'm sorry."

"I'm not talking about now Danielle, wait until we get to your mothers."

"But Da"

"No but's Danielle, I am very disappointed in you."

Dani went silent; she could see her mother's house approaching in the distance. Finally realizing there was no escape from her angry father Dani admitted defeat and stopped squirming. Why did she keep disobeying her parents all it ever lead to for her were punishments, it wasn't fair. Dani decided that she wouldn't be scared; she wouldn't show her parents she was terrified of them and what they might do to her. Once again she made a mistake, it was time she started taking responsibility for them, so she could learn to never do them again.

Sam was awoken when her super hearing picked up an all familiar swooping sound. She jolted up and opened her eyes to see Danny enter her bedroom with Danielle in her hands. Sam wiped her tired eyes so she could keep them open, gosh was she tired. But she also knew Danny wouldn't bother her unless it was urgent, but when he had Danielle. Sam asked herself if she even wanted to know, but as her mother she needed to know, Sam got out of bed, she was wearing he gothic black nightgown.

"Alright, what's going on?" she asked in a tired voice.

"Guess who was captured in Fenton Works trying to use The Fenton Portal."

Sam's eyes shot open as she heard the words leave her boyfriend's mouth. She suddenly felt a rage start to build up in her; she looked down at her daughter. Dani could see anger and disappointment in her eyes, just like her father.

"You what, Danielle, did you try to use The Ghost Portal?"

"Yes."

"She was trying to get into The Ghost Zone; I just got her back from the lab."

"Danielle Phantom do you have any idea how disappointed we are in you, we have deliberately told you that The Ghost Zone is dangerous."

"You guys talk about it all the time, I want to see it apparently it's nothing like Earth, what's wrong with a little sightseeing?"

"Danielle, you don't get it, we're not angry that you want to see The Ghost Zone, we're angry that you snuck out of the lair, without telling us, again, and tried to use The Fenton Portal." Danny said.

"Oh so you have absolutely no problem with me seeing The Ghost Zone then, then why don't you let me, which one is safer Amity Park or The Ghost Zone?"

"Danielle I-"

"I mean sorry for being a little curious and wanting to see a place that very few people actually get to see, but I'm not a little kid, if you're worried about me getting attacked I can handle myself, I took out The Extreme Ghostbreakers today."

"No you didn't you just phased through traffic and they were stupid enough to follow you, a vehicle, a vehicle took them down." Danny said.

"So then it's the disobeying thing then, well then give me a break, because if I'm guilty then so are you dad."

"What did you say?"

"Danielle do-"

"Hold on Sam, I want to know where she's going with this."

"When we left your mom and dad said you should remember what it's like to be a kid, and that you get in trouble all the time."

"Yeah and I get in trouble for it, I disobey my parents from time to time, Sam does too, so does Tucker and Jazz and do you know what happens, they get in trouble, I get in trouble and so are you."

"So what's the punishment, stuck in the lair, no video games?"

"Nope." Danny said looking at Sam.

"No Ghost Zone Trip."

"What?"

"After the ghost attacks today your father and I talked over what happened, and about you wanting to see The Ghost Zone and some other stuff so we decided that tomorrow we would surprise you by taking you with us on a trip into The Ghost Zone and go to the safe places like The Far Frozen, Clockwork's Tower or The Kingdom of Aragon." Sam said.

"But not anymore, why should we reward you with what you want when you don't want to listen to us." Danny finished for her.

"But…but, that's not fair." Dani said almost on the verge of tears.

"Danielle listen to me, I…DO…NOT…CARE, you disobeyed us and for that we're not going into The Ghost Zone tomorrow, we are very disappointed in you."

"But that's not fair I didn't know."

"That's why they call it a surprise, I think we've all had enough of this, let's go home."

Danny grabbed Dani by the arm again and phased out of Sam's room. Sam watched them leave and yet even being angry at her daughter for what she tried to do. But seeing her on the verge of tears and scared of her parents hurt her. Sam couldn't help but think of her own mother, did she feel like this every time she disobeyed her. No she couldn't feel like this, if she did she would come to her and comfort her, be loving and heck motherly. She would punish her so she would learn a lesson and make her aware of what she was trying to do. But no all she ever got was hatred and disgust from her mother, Sam swore that she would never be like her mother before she even knew Dani existed. That was one of Sam's biggest fears, having her own child hate her, despite everything she was doing was because she loved her. She climbed back into bed and tried to get to sleep, trying to forget about those thoughts.

Meanwhile, a few miles away from Amity Park a Raccoon was digging through an flipped trash can; it was looking for food. It sniffed the air, hoping to detect the smell of a promising meal. However what it got instead were vibrations, wait that wasn't right. The racoon started to shake and looked at the ground, which was shaking as well. The racoon decided that its life was more important than anything it would find in the trash, so it fled. Seconds later a hump of dirt emerged from the ground and started to make its way towards Amity Park. It erupted from the ground, like there was something tunneling underneath the ground; that's because there was; a plant vine sprouted from the ground and looked around. It then retreated back into the ground and the thing continued to make its way to Amity Park and for her.

Oh Dani when will you learn, you should respect Danny's authority. Anyways yes I'm a little late, I'm sorry about that I was going to post this yesterday however there were some complications. Those complications were I was absolute tired, I tried to write my intro's and outros last night but, I kid you not, my body knocked itself out and I fell asleep in at my laptop and woke up two hours later past midnight and at that point I wasn't going to finish it, but I did now, also I was busy before that because, hey Mario Kart 8, buy it, it's cool. So anyways anything I can answer?

MagnusVolcanus: Or maybe Danny was having an off day, I wanted him to fight a bunch of ghost animals again because most of the other enemies are being saved for late, plus we've already had Skulker and Technus

Inviso-Al: Wait and see, No, This

Blak-Ice: Well she would have, if not for her disobedience
