No more ANs. Their unnecessary cause no one is probably reading them anymore. Which brings out the question why am I still writing this story? Simple. I have no clue.But one thing is for sure. Now that I have no one to impress and have no expectations to meet, I can update as late(or early but I highly doubt it. I'm one those people who believe that nothing is 100%) as I want to.
Chapter One-
Danny watched his parents as they seemed to want to tell him something but couldn't.
"So..." He trailed off not knowing what to say. "What happened after I passed out yesterday?"
The older Fenton's shared a glace at each other in unison, in one hand Danny would find out eventually that their home was destroyed. On the other hand he'll keep blaming himself because of it.
"You see son. The thing is, nothing lasts forever. What matters most is that no one got hurt and we still have each other." Jack said. He was never good at explaining let alone about emotional stuff. Neither was his wife. They just weren't that kind of people. And that's also the reason why they felt attracted to the other back in college.
"Where are you going with this?" Danny felt really confused. What were they even talking about?
"Their saying that the Fenton Works building got destroyed and now you have no where to live." Dan suddenly barged in the room, singlehandedly explaining what they were trying to say... Pun intended.
Danny noticed the missing arm but decided not to mention it. "What? Our house was destroyed?! How?!"
"Well for one Fright Knight blasted me in the face and I landed on the house. Also the Ghost Portal exploded." Dan explained.
"What did I tell you about manners?!" Jazz exclaimed in anger at Dan cause he charged in the room without knocking.
"What?" Dan replied nonchalantly. "Its not like they were sleeping in here."
Jazz gave an annoyed pout at Dan who just laughed it off.
"Ah your back." Jack welcomed Dan and Jazz.
"Yeah. But I'll be leaving soon though I got work to go to." Dan mentioned his new job. "So I just thought that I'd come and see how things were going on here."
"Going to work?" Maddie blinked. "Are you sure you should go to work with a missing limb?"
"I was wondering about that." Danny said. He didn't really care but he didn't want them to know that.
"Oh right." Dan looked sheepish. Even though he was older than Danny it was amazing how alike they looked even with being over 12 years apart in age. "I forgot about that."
"How does one forget about a missing arm?" Jazz deadpanned. Sometimes she wondered what she saw in him.
For a moment Dan didn't say anything and took his jacket off completely exposing his one armed body to the worldworld.
"Don't worry. I could have done this yesterday but I felt too lazy." Dan spoke them pointed what was left of his arm in the air and his eyes began to glow a mystical blue color ever so slightly.
Then the most amazing thing happened.
A new bone began to sprout from his arm that bleed little to none. The blood vessels grew and new, healthy and red colored muscles began to appear from the bone and in less than 5 seconds Dan's missing arm was fully restored to its original condition. As if it was there all along.
Jazz looked surprised. She thought he was kidding when he said he could have regrown his arm like a plant.
But the other Fenton's looked completely baffled if not awed. Danny jumped from his bed. And got in front of Dan's face.
"Please Teach me how to do that!" Danny had sparkles in his eyes.
The others couldn't help but giggle at the young boy's eccentricity and eagerness to learn a new ability.
Dan simply looked amused. "We'll talk all you want after I'm back from work."
With that he put his jacket back on and exited the room but not before asking Jazz to escort him to the front entrance of the hospital. Jazz of course did as he said telling her parents that she'll be right back.
Danny frowned at that. He really wasn't in the mood for this.
Noticing his sudden mood change his mother couldn't help but ask if he was feeling ill.
Danny of course didn't want that secret to get exposed... yet. He may not have been a fan of his future distorted self anymore but he didn't want to damage Jazz's reputation.
-Line Break-
Dan walked out of the building with Jazz in toe then he turned around and spoke.
"When Danny gets discharged from the hospital take them to my apartment..." He gave her the room keys. "Unfortunately since there are two bedrooms only you'll have to share."
Jazz took the keys and put them in her pockets. "When will you be back?"
"Probably late at night. Its my first day so I gotta work hard." Dan replied then kisses her. "I'll be going now."
"..." Jazz blushed, being kissed in broad daylight in front of all these people.
Dan kept looking at her for a couple of seconds then frowned. "This is the part where you say goodbye and wish me a good day like a newlywed should."
Jazz blushed more and looked angry at him for making such a suggestion. She made a motion as if she was going to hit him and he scurried off in a hurry laughing like an idiot.
She gave a smile at his retreating form. "Have a good day... dear."
Realizing what she said she gave a shocked look. Did she really just do that?
-Line Break-
Danny watched on from the window and scowled at them. What was Jazz doing? She'd never do something like that?! Even if it was he who she was talking to. Being a human with ghost powers had it perks. Such WS enhanced vision and hearing. But sometimes it really did more harm then good.
The more he thought about it the more angry he got. She was his SISTER for gods sake! He'd never do something like that with his sister.
Unless. Dan wasn't who he said he was.
But that's impossible. Dan knew things. Things no one ever should have about him. About his deepest fears and darkest secrets. Things that he didn't even tell Sam and Tucker about...
Unless, he could read minds...
He's seen enough SciFi movies to know that physics could not only read people's minds but also control other people.
The more he thought about it the more it made sense.
But wait...
Dan had a ghost form that resembled quite like Danny's own so the chances of Dan telling the truth wasn't that small either.
It seems that Danny needs to do more investigation before coming to an answer.
"Danny?" Maddie noticed her younger sons downed expressions. "Are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah." Danny gave her a fake smile. She seemed to have bought it cause she gave a smile of her own then returned to her husband and began to talk about something that Danny didn't quite care for.
At that moment Jazz decided to enter the room.
The two of their eyes met and Danny turned away from her.
Jazz tensed at his reaction. And couldn't help but wonder if he knew what they were doing behind his back. Behind their parents back.
-Line Break-
"And this is it." Jazz opened the gate with the key. The Fenton's walked in their new temporary home.
"Nice place." Danny commented. It was true. For being a single working man this was quite a lot. And with the rent surprisingly as low as it was its quite a catch. Danny couldn't help but wonder if Dan would let him have this place after he leaves cause for one thing Danny would have to move put of his house eventually and this place was just the kind of place he needs.
"Donny worry guys its only for a few months. We've talked to the President and he said that he already has people working on rebuilding our home." Jack assured them.
"Why would the President of all people want to help us?" Danny asked.
"Well for one thing no one forgot that you saved the earth and mankind from destruction." Maddie explained.
Danny frowned. He didn't help people just so that they'd help him too. He helped people because he wanted to. Because it was the right thing to do. Because it was the thing Sam would want him to do. Because it made her happy. And what made her happy also made him happy...
-Line Break-
In the deepest confines of the parallel dimension that was dubbed as the 'Ghost Zone' by many in the human world. And after being called that for so many years the name had stuck.
The Dimension was like the universe. Ever expanding and as always creating more and more inhabitants day by day. Its just how things worked.
Luckily... Or should he say unluckily. The more time seemed to have passed the more weaker the ghosts spawner became. It seems people have become less obsessive about things in the world of the living. Or rather people are starting to 'repent' and 'forgive' for their own sins. As if that was gonna spare them from the intense lashing they'd receive in the pits of hell.
He should know. He was in that position a long. Long. Time ago.
Becoming a Ghost was intensional for him. He had already seen the horrors life and death had to offer him. And he was quite bored of it. Becoming a god wasn't but he couldn't complain.
The power he has now. Can only be pared by another god like him. Be a fallen one or still one in it's glory.
Everyone either feared or respected him. He has plenty of servants and followers to prove his power.
And speaking of servants...
"Where is Fright Knight?" Pariah Dark, One of the strongest beings to ever exist and glide in the abyss of the Ghost Zone, Asked.
He didn't even particularly ask anyone But that didn't mean he didn't expect an answer to come out eventually.
"My Lord." One of his skeletal generals came forth, literally out of nowhere less than 20 seconds after he asked rthe question. "I have news from the Human World..."
Pariah's emotionless gaze made the skeleton uneasy. Truthfully he was forced to come and report by his colleges. None wanting to take the wrath of their fearsome leader on this own.
"Commander Fright Knight has been... Defeated." The skeleton said. "An unknown ghost has destroyed him. The name and origins of this ghost is still yet unknown." The Skeleton would have swallowed but he had no throat or saliva to swallow.
"..." Pariah's gaze hardened and the puny ghost in front of him felt like he was gonna piss ectoplasm. " Leave me to my thoughts."
The ghost mustered up all the courage he had and walked out of the room.
Once again he was on his own.
Fright Knight? Defeated?! It was obviously not that Phantom boy for he had no where near that strength or power to battle the Fright.
"So a new character has appeared in the middle of my conquest of taking over Earth." He spoke out loud then grinned like a madman. "This... Should be interesting."
And as for Fright Knight. He'd respawn eventually. Being immortal had many perks. Perks that work in wondrous ways...
-Line Break-
Danny slept on the floor where Dan was kind enough to get a futon for him.
Or at least tried to sleep. But the dream from earlier made it impossible for him to sleep.
Eventually that lack of want to sleep frustrated him to the point of being angry.
Hearing footsteps he turned around on his bed to face his sister who had went out to use the restroom.
The anger somehow intensified when he thought of her. Or more specifically, Dan. His so called future self .
After a few minutes later she returnes. and plopped back onto the guest bed that she was using for now.
"...Jazz?" He spoke up.
"Hmm?" she asked back. Half asleep.
"We need to talk." he pulled the cat out of the bag rather harshly.
